WOW! well done ubb! How many babies did you get!?

What are their specs? ie... what do they eat, where are they from etc... again congrats!

Guys and girls, I think we will have to start looking into making a loan to purchase these beauties, as said they are not the easiest of varanids to keep let alone breed.
First of all, well done ubb.

If I remember correctly you lost allot with these critters where the one female ate the other female's eggs, loosing 2 females due to being egg bound, and so forth.

Congratulations once again! you proved yourself twice this year with two species being captive bred for the first time in South-Africa.

Guys, a setup for these monitor lizards are not cheap... if I would have to take a very rough estimate to be able to keep a pair of these babies it will cost you in a very rough estimate of about 20k for a proper setup.

And on another note, they are one of the hardest of monitors to differentiate between males and females.

You should write a caresheet for the less fortunate of us.
