Hello.

Not meant as a flame, just trying to get you to see the big picture.



You have to know how to keep them healthy first.



You don't MAKE them breed. Monitors breed like crazy all on their own, if they are healthy, happy, and most importantly, a pair.

You are understandably excited by your new pet, and are asking normal (but really dumb) questions. Every person who puts out 20 bucks for a new savanna, wants to know what sex it is, and how soon can they breed it. Little do they know, the real task is to allow it to grow up first. Read this forum a while, and you will see what I mean.



You just got your lizards this week. Whether they are a pair or not I don't know, (hell, I wouldn't know the species if it wasn't written underneath) but I do know they will NOT breed unless you get their husbandry within acceptable levels.

Husbandry is giving a range of temps, food, humidity, and security that they need to be happy. Check each subject out to make sure you are giving the best you can offer. Just enjoy living with the lizards for now, they will breed all on their own when they are happy.



Congrats on them, they are a pretty pale blue. =)
