Arrgggggggg but I don't know how to talk about monitors. hahahahahahaha.

At this time I do not keep pure V.p.horni. And I seen and handled both V.p.p. and V.p.r. And actually wild betweeners of those two. Also, there are far more "types" "regional morphs" "subspecies" whatever you would like to call them out there. Seen a lot of those as well.

I am keeping pure V.flavirufus and Pure, V.gouldi. And a ton of crosses. Actually not a ton anymore. Just three or four small groups. Which includes my banded crosses, a captive produced consistant form. What is so very funny, of all the monitors I have, the banded crosses are the only ones that throw babies that are consistant to the adults. Nearly all other types and species I have throw a wide varity of pattern types and colors.

I have had no problem keeping a breeding V.p.horni. With the only exception being, they are bit much. They get too big for me, and they act to big as well.

At one time, I raised a horni that became like an arcade game. It was such an aggressive feeder, it would charge the front of the cage and did so very quickly. Well, my friends would often ask it they could stick their finger in the cage. You know, to see if they could get it out before the panoptes got it. Well, a long bloody story short, my friends do not seem to be that quick, not in reaction time and not in brain power. So got tagged many times. hahahahahahahahahaha.

Anyway I learned lots and lots from Panoptes, I did lots of tests on them. They are a great teaching monitor.

I do not post or have a, for sale list. If I cannot sell a monitor or clutches of monitors, I post them on KS. Mostly they are sold or excessed(traded) long before I have to advertise. Cheers
