No offense, but what makes you think they are different, I have kept both and did not have a problems that were different then any other monitor. The one pair that I started to pair up here, was amoung the nicest monitors I have kept and they were large adults when introduced.



One of the main problems with shy species is, you do not see the key stages that need to be seen. Like breeding and nesting. Often nesting is missed and the eggs go bad. This is what happened to the above pair(at a friend of mines house)



The problem with doreanus is getting healthy animals. Which is the problem with most species.



As far as I can tell, people kill off most all species of varanids. Including captive hatched ackies and such. So what difference does it make? Ed is willing to take animals that are already in captivity and doing the best he can.



So, I think we should try and support him the best we can.



It sort of bothers me your approach, If Ed does not get them, who do you think will?????? Some expert???? or some inexperienced person? At least Ed is doing the best he can. Cheers
