Wow Gregg... relax. He was trying to help you.



You said that Frank stated "if its 18 inches it has to be a male" and that such a statement lacked logic.



But you are misquoting what he said. What he said was "if that animal is 18 inches, its most likely male, as females start to drop eggs at aboutt that size." The logic is that if it is 18 inches and hasn't dropped eggs or dropped dead from reproductive failure it is LIKELY a male. Nobody said anything about HAS TO BE. HUGE difference.



Regarding the color, Frank has hatched and raised hundreds or thousands of monitors and has been working with them for multiple decades. His EDUCATED GUESS about how yours will look when it is an adult probably has some merit. That doesn't make your monitor any less cool. It really is smokin!



You say you are experienced at "this." What experience do you have? Have you bred monitors before? How many types? How many generations? Honest questions. I know nothing about you.



Now, you stated that "I think your theory about having to pair them up early on in life in order for them to successfully breed is 100% untrue."



What is your basis for that belief? What evidence do you have to support it?



I already know and have tested Franks ideas and have found them to be valid. Why do you think they lack validity?
