I'd love to say "Pick me!" however, it would be completely unrealistic for me.. besides' i love my albigs!! Hopefully you can find someone capable of doing this.

Hi Steeve and everyone!
I think i can care for them very carefully. I don't know what they exactly need but with lessons, i will. I want to breed monitor so, people will can get high quality instead of WC. I was planning to keep a water monitor but the only one i can have are WC so, i can have crocs. I repeat, i don't know exactly what they need but i breed kingsnake, i own Suriname boa and Argentine black and white tegu so, with a couple of lessons, they will be in a great home. I live with my girl friend in our home so, they will not moove until.... If i could right you in french, it will be much simple to tell you who i am and my plan for them

Steeve B · 08-03-03, 02:30 PM

Excellent that’s a start, 2 others have ask about them via PM but pleas ask on this forum!
As I said this time it’s not my judgement call, and will let the majority ask any question they feel needed to determine if you’re a serious contender or just one more num head that’d going to flash in public with these creatures. Good luck to all of you

Ps. I will not respond to PM on this matter

Steeve B · 08-03-03, 02:54 PM

It seems by the emails I got that many who’d like to participate, pleas do!
This isn’t some kind of competition it’s just relaxed fun and hopefully will open doors to new ideas? So feel free to ad whatever you think of.
Thanks to all who participate

Ps. I Value all replies no exceptions even those from peoples I don’t always agree with, anything that can help herpetoculture is valuable to all of us.

i like the idea of making sure a person is able to care for the herp. It would work if you had to go in person to a respected herper and convince him/her that you are capable. the person should not be the one selling them the herp, since they would want to sell it. It should be a neutral person, and they wont just be like 'no you cant have one' cause everyone wants to see more (responsible) herpers out there.

well i think i would be able to care for this croc monitors without a doubt, i read up on them quiet often always trying to leanr interesting facts about different kind of monitors. I also have the experience working with big monitors right now i currently on 2 nile monitors and i have 2 3 foot water monitors coming and hopefully another nile. so i have experience with them and feeding cost and housing cost aren't a problem all my monitors have there own 8x4x4 cage right now and hopefully when i have a lot of free tiem on my hand i want to extend some of them to have a 16x4x4 cage they can never have too much space
and i will start the bid off at 200 bucks

chuck911jeep · 08-03-03, 07:44 PM

Hi Steeve!
Just tell me the space they need, the kind of substrate to use, the day and the night weather, the day and night humidity level, the best food i can provide them in captivity and i will tell you if i could keep them for as long as they live and keep them healthy. the member of the community can come and visit me home and see my other herp. I don't want to "flash" with those lizard, i just want to give them a good home but i don't want to participate in a challenge. Steeve, when you want to release them?

In all reality I dont think this can be done People may speak of taking great care of there animals and such But no one can 100% prove that most actually do you would need to go to there facilitys talk to them face to face for a good period of time with each person before I Myself would be satisfyed.
But if your talking about KNOWING how to do it correctly I think that most do on this however I know a few dont There is alot of solid info out there you can grab off the net however there is a lot of bs too. Bookreading is alot different then Actually doing it correctly though there are many breeders out there with good careheets and will give you the correct care info but they themselves dont follow it.

chuck911jeep · 08-03-03, 08:15 PM

I think the go to their facility and talk to them in person is a very good point.

Last winter I was vandalised by a visitor, 100+ python dead frozen.
So this option is ruled out!
As for conversation, Looks like aim easy to dupe as I was 2 times already
I think this forum can be of help let’s see!!

this is going to be a disaster..... People claim they have worked with big monitors, big deal! I guarentee you most people who have kept "big niles" dont keep them properly...... dont have proper enclosures... etc etc.. i GUARENTEE IT. Chuck, I dont know you.. so this most definatly isnt directed at yourself. But I feel others here are jumping at a chance to own rare but now cheap varanids.

Let me make an example... I have a 10x6x6 enclosure for my albigs. I keep them properly, BUT have absolutly nowhere near enough knowledge to keep such large varanids like crocs. I think some of you should rethink your quick judgement. Its quick decisions that land alot of reptiles homeless, or dead in later years. I hope all of you use proper judgement, and are responsible with your decisions....
