Drive the point even harder. LOL
The crazy thing is that "night niles" came in back in the 90's. We got them in and sold them for $125 each. I have a feeling it is a locality morph.

Like Black Dragon water monitors and some of the high-black Beaded Lizards?

I have a hunch you're right.. It's not likely for the same mutation to occur simultaneously in different animals. Either it happened once, the first individual bred, and its het babies bred, producing these. Or, it's a locality.

Re: Night Nile
I'm curious to wonder who must be giving them monitor care advice. This guy MUST know someone. It's also odd that HE got them and not another monitor keeper. Like Robyn.

Re: Night Nile
I wonder where they're getting their care advice too.. You'd think they would have the common sense to ask some actual monitor breeders, but it sounds like they just googled it and used the first care sheet they found.
As far as it being odd that he got them, not really.. It's not hard to get a hold of fresh morphs. Just get in touch with an exporter in Africa and tell them you'll pay triple for an unusual animal..

Re: Night Nile
He's got his contacts over there already due to the ball pythons but I'm surprised they weren't offered to a monitor person first. Seeing as if I was an exporter, I wouldn't contact a ball guy for a monitor thing since he hadn't ever. Ah well, you never know what happened.

Re: Night Nile
Even so, I wouldn't think they would think about who normally buys what, They'd probably just ask their biggest customer first.

Re: Night Nile
The sad thing is, the way they are being kept and the rate at which they are growing (or not growing), This project will never go anywhere. These animals should really be in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing with varanids or BHB should bring in someone who knows what they are doing with varanids instead of splitting up the trio between people who do not have a clue on varanid husbandry.
With that being said, BHB is great with snakes. I see them at the shows I do and their snake collection is emaculate. They are truely great breeders and care about their animals. There really is no need to bash them.
