I'm assuming that when you say "live monitor" that you mean the current overall record is higher? (I mean, including dead ones.)





That's one thing that drives me nuts about monitors is the fact that you always seem to get different answers to length questions. I'm not doubting you or anything. It's just I go to one site and I read Crocs (As an example) can hit 12, the next says 13, and the petstore in this area that always exaggerates everything says the record is 15 feet 7 inches.



Thanks for the pictures, guys. They really are massive animals.



But I have to ask: Some of the adults in the pictures (Like over at Cybersalvator.com) look really fat. Are they considered obese? Or are they just that big as adults? ..or maybe they just ate?
