Re: A few photographs of my critters - part 1

Hey Dave, was just looking at your pics of the Bell phase baby that you had on another forum. Can you post pics here for everyone? That is one awesome looking monitor!!

Re: A few photographs of my critters - part 1

I'm not sure which photos you were looking at, but here's one of the Bell's phase I've had. I've raised a few, as I'm after a female. The one in the photo, called Satan, was recently sent it up to a keeper I know in Qld, as he turned out to be a male.


I have another juvenile at the moment, called Bandit, but haven't taken any good photos of it, yet.

Beautiful monitor, but I think I like the ”normals” better.

Re: A few photographs of my critters - part 1

I'm a big fan of the 'normal' lace monitors, too. Bell's phase are unusual looking because of the broad bands of colour and can be quite spectacular, but I like the intricacies of patterning in the normal phase lace monitors.

The place I used to work at had perenties and I helped the keepers in getting them to reproduce. I incubated the eggs at home and then reared the young for a while. Although I was offered a couple of the babies, I turned them down for lack of space. They're an easy enough species to keep and breed, but they need huge amounts of floor space and massive volumes of substrate - you can't go vertical like you can with lace monitors and the females like to burrow into long nest tunnels. Not the sort of monitor you'd want to be keeping indoors.

I think that might be the one I saw pictures of when it was just a baby. You were showing the difference between Bells phase and another kind. It was a pretty spectacular baby! Love them all, such amazingly beautiful animals.

Right, here goes. I have dozens of shots, so this is just a small sample.

First person that says "I want one, where can I get one" gets booted off the forum. Wayne, is that okay with you?
