Well then we've made some stunning deductions and I've had my fun with it. I guess I was just getting ahead of myself and anxious to figure out what sexes they are because my yellows were accurately sexed at this size. I'm still learning my way through this stuff and that the sexability is different for every individual monitor.



The husbandry- I want to make that jump to excellent care and I feel like it's improved dramatically in the last year. Those three reds I've gotten have grown relatively well (compared to a pair of yellows I raised last year), and I've encountered no problems at all with them, which is also different from the pair of yellows. I know it's only three monitors but I feel like I'm at the point where I'm able to raise a monitor to adulthood and maintain its health. I'm starting to wonder about their sexes because the next step for a keeper would be to see their monitors breed. I've raised them and I'm thinking ahead to taking a shot at introducing them to a proven male I've got this spring if they are indeed female. I'm also wondering about the sexes because my pair of yellows attempted to mate since they were six months old, but I've never witnessed that with the reds. Thanks for the wisdom, I need to make use of it and have a little patience!
