He has produced and sold, dieing in the average keepers hands also.

I produced many beardies and some monitors, I didnt want to know to whom most went (left that up to a friend who sold them, except one who went to a good keeper who used to post alot here years ago), and decided that I didnt want to continue breeding them intentionally afterwards. The problem falls on the average keeper in the states, in my experience those who are looking for your hatchlings and adults for sale are either impulse buyers, kids who cannot keep them as they should be kept properly, because of their own limitations, or someone who is looking to buy cheap and resell.

I gave away some dwarf monitors to people who I knew would take good care of them (this took alot of time to find someone I felt suitable), and kept 2 here.

Regardless of how much you educate most keepers the end result is the same, the animals future is tied directly to what the keeper is willing or able to put into it.

Besides until I decide otherwise my incubator, and the perlite, will sit packed away, the eggs can easily be fed to other monitors when I dig them up.
