I use to go out of my way to help keepers sex there monitors, now I realise theirs no need for them to know what sex they have, 99% will never breed them anyway, 90% will not keep them in pairs, only 3% will survive there first year as captives, so I ask why the need to know?
(these are fictive figures)
I am not being rude, this is partly true, very few will keep there monitors in good enough conditions to allow reproduction, in most case females will die from reproductive failure.
Anyone serious about this should obtain breeding stock from breeders, they THE BREEDERS will help you select pairs or groups, I really think knowing what sex your import is of little value, unless you have a lot of varanids experience in witch case you wouldn’t ask this question.
