I dont keep pairs of monitors, yet I use the husbandry techniques from my monitors on a pair of beardies that wont stop laying eggs (over 175 eggs in 9 months), in fact I have disposed of so many clutches by feeding them off to other animals or throwing them away, I dont really want to deal with all those hatchlings. I kept one male hatchling thats now larger than his mother and hes only 7.5 months old. All of my animals are pets, all but one (Asian wolf spider) are very handeable, and very friendly except to certain people by their own choice. Even Sobek does not like some people at all.

A few of the same people like to mention that I post alot of updates on my animals, pictures of them, sizes, growth, weight, ages, etc but Im very proud of them. Besides, I get to see this every day and they dont.



No, I dont keep monitors in pairs, but my lizards grow so big, so fast, and so young. Even my older animals obtained from others grow fast under my care, so Im obviously doing more than a few things right. Who wouldnt be proud of raising a hatchling of any monitor species to the largest male or female ever known of period, and the animal is still under 3 years old.
