About five years ago, I was told by a friend from Japan thats is one of the main collectors in Indo. He said, they had recently told the local collectors, no more large monitors, only babies.

The reason is shipping, Shipping is way more for adults and they actually get more for babies. They can ship dozens of babies for the cost of shipping one adult.

In this case, its a good thing for the conservation, as adults are far less expendable then babies. It takes many many babies to achieve one adult. Cheers
