Exciting development- at least for me

Just wanted to share my latest monitor related development. As you may know I had a v.ornatus since Nov 2012. I got him when he was 15inch runt and with help of people here, got him to grow to 30in at end of April . Even prior to getting the ornate I was looking for a black throat monitor, but had hard time getting one due to the shortage. In the mean time I got to know an owner of a small reptile business in the area, who was able to get his hands on 3 juvenile black throats last weekend. He agreed to trade me for my ornate and a baby lechianus gecko I had as well.
Just wanted to share some pics, 24 inches long at the moment.

He is a good looking monitor. Blacks are awesome, congrats man.

Is that a screen top you have though?

Thanks, It's not a screen top. It just separates the lighting elements from the rest of the cage. The whole cage is wood.

Ha! Awesome, I figured it must be something like that. Love the plant, was it in with your ornate too?

Re: Exciting development- at least for me

Awesome little guy you got there, congrats!!! I feel your excitement I've also been on the hunt for a black throat for a long time now and as you know they are very hard to come by now and when you do they are often fetching a much higher price.

Ben Siegel from down your way got in 3 last week as well. Yesterday he posted up one for sale and luckily I was online and noticed it soon as it posted and was the first person to msg him. Should be here Tuesday most likely, can't wait!!
