Let me quantify my statement a bit. Firstly, I am no accomplished breeder. I am close friends with the much maligned Frank Retes but I don't get spoon fed answers to my questions. But the questions you ask are not the questions of someone approaching breeding their monitors. The last 2 questions you have asked are the wrong questions and if you had spent any time reading the archives would have found your answers yourself. Especially the one about breeding age. Who gives a snot when they are old enough to breed. It has been written many times that the most succesful way to set up a breeding group is to raise them together. If they are raised together and your conditions are right they will breed when they are ready to, regardless of what time someone TOLD you they'd breed. You keep asking species specific husbandry questions when it has been said many times that the basics are not species specific. Monitor husbandry is monitor husbandry with very few variables.
Additionally, when you first joined the other site you asked a question of Frank, when he gave you an answer you didn't like you chastised him for "feeding" his ego. Funny that he might not jump to answer your questions again.
Again, I am not a "succesful" monitor breeder. But there is a difference between me and others. I KNOW where my failings are and what I have to work on. I don't blame others or my animals. BTW my failings are that I don't give them enough fuel, and my nesting has always sucked. I also don't pay enough attention to my females to know when they are cycling and laying.
Truly, I do wish you luck. Monitors esp prasinus are not bred near often enough.
