I first learned about this mountain morph a little more then a year ago, I only have data from about 30 sightings, apparently males don’t grow much larger then 3ft, hopefully this holds true? What’s most interesting is they are color dimorphic, males having a turquoise diamond on throat, they have this distinct marking even as very young, I don’t know of any other monitors to show such color dimorphism?

This is my female, she’s still young and don’t have her yellow head coloration yet, but nevertheless she’s the most beautiful jobiensis iv ever owned, this photo don’t do her justice, it’s the best I could do with a cheep camera, trust me to post better photos later.

Last September I was supposed to join a friend on a trip to PNG especially to collect these monitors, unfortunately I could not go, but still I was able to get this female, how lucky can a man be?

Trust me theirs no other monitor inn this world that id rather have, sure compensates for the drew backs.

Later cheers

Pleas tell me how you like here.
