If it isnt learning better husbandry learning more from each other and exchanging there own success and understanding then what else is it? Monitors are not for profit there a money pit, Beardies,Geckos,Colubrids,etc... are much easier and a profit can be made there. Why choose Varanids for profit? My goal was to breed, met that, my goal was to get fertile eggs, got that. And what I thought was final was to hatch the fertile eggs, still trying with very limited success. Now if I hatch more its for raising them up to do it all over again! Then and only then I might have a clue to what they need and require for a healthy life and life cycle(breeding).If I get extra yes I would sell the extra but that will be far from a profit or profitable as I have put more money in then I could ever think of getting back.Heck Frank probably makes more money off his mice then his monitor sales! I have learned alot from him and I have also had alot of help from Mark and Sam as well. I dont care who is arguing with who, or who is right or who is wrong. all i care about is what I can learn to better my care for what I keep and learn and pass on my mistakes. if you dont keep Varanids for the love of learning and keeping them then you wont keep them long and you wont be on this forum long either. I have learned alot but it wasnt from reading a bickering post. I have been doing this a long time and dont post here much at all too much about each other and not enough about the subject.. And if you post you should have your name at the end or dont bother posting!
