Going by the last chap my female tagged on the knee when she was only 3ft long I'm confident I made the right choice LOL

thank you, they are very similer in many ways and in around 2 years I will have a lacie monitor in my collection also to compare better, as long as the chap manages to breed them over here that is.

They're magnificent. Everyday, you guys make me wish I'd gone for a monitor instead of a tegu. lol Not a Croc. Monitor, mind you... haha

Your crocs are amazing and your Nile's feeding response is crazy. Loved the pictures and videos. If you don't mind my asking is the room the enclosures are in a part of your house or is it an outbuilding? Very cool setups and thanks for sharing.

These reptiles are gorgeous! I especially loved the video of your Nile monitor. I've seen a full grown adult in person, they get pretty big! The one I saw belonged to this large pet store and they would leash him and let him walk around. He was quite friendly and very laid back. Lol. They kept a Nile monitor, a Marmoset and a Serval as pets. Such a neat place!

I'd love to see a serval in person. I've only ever seen them on TV and online and they look amazing.

thank you. They enjoy them very much, more so my male he enjoys looking down at me.

I thought it maybe time to update everyone with my progress (or not so) with my pair of v.salvadorii Dasher (M) and Nasher (F). She has produced 9 eggs in total 3 on the 20th and 6 on the 21st. offered various nesting options (5) but she choose to lay them in her normal substrate in two differant locations (why I am yet to work out). I have placed all 9 in the incubator but I suspect maybe 3-5 of them may be fertile. I will just wait and see if they go bad or not ( I hope). I have never incubated any varanus sp eggs so we will see how they pan out.

Some pictures of them, not many of her as shes been rather moody for awhile and not soo photo active LOL but plenty of him.

Nasher thinking of going inside her log which she often does.

NOW the MALE

Glad they are enjoying the tubes mate and fingers crossed for fertile eggs.
Looking awesome as ever
