Nice - not often you see people keeping Fiji reptiles (except in Fiji!).

I'm sure you know the Fiji iguanas are quite rare - not that they are particularly rare here, just that it's a small country. A third species has just been identified and now herpetologists are suspecting that each of the larger Fijian Islands may have their own species. If you Google "Nature Fiji" you'll get to our local conservation organisation which is looking at this.

I'm very interested in the pattern on that Vanuata C.b.bibroni, and would love to see more photos, especially of the belly. Your C.b.australis looks a lot like snakes from the Fijian island of Taveuni (diamond/zigzag back pattern) while the ones from other Fijian islands are more blotchy. Snakes on Viti Levu (the main island) seem to have a black belly stripe.

Any belly shots of your snakes?
