Those are awesome looking monitors. Did I miss something, but what species is this? Definately something I'd enjoy in my collection.

Your experiment sounds interesting and is definately an innovation in monitor breeding. I hope it never get's abused, but all in all it seems promising. Not being a serious monitor breeder, I'd stick with the natural means, but that's personal preference.

How did you arrive at the dosage administered? Do you have a DVM overlooking the experiment? (not that he'd know anything like dosage... this is new stuff). In Canada we have a system that overlooks all animal testing; called CALAS. Of course it is there to assess animal wellfare, but it also helps to ensure the experimental design is one that is reproduceable and usable in scientific literature. Do you have such a system in the USA? It would be a shame for this to not be shared withen the scientific community.

Thanks again for the post, it was very interesting
