No offense, but for someone who claims to know all about croc monitors, and knows who has done what, you sure do not know much.

I guess if you do not look out the window, nothing happens out there.

What that means is, Croc monitors as well as all other large monitors(and small monitors) multiclutch. Its been done and reported many times. The fact that its a surprise to you is very odd.

I am getting an imagine of your approach, if you keep talking we will all understand.

You may think your little cages are good because you had a female drop eggs. What is very misleading about that is, females drop eggs if they feed on a normal basis, it has nothing to do with the cage. All they have to do is feed.

I believe this was published in both viv and reptiles, in the early 90's, articules on our work here. Monitors drop eggs like crazy that is not a problem. The problem is getting eggs that hatch or are hatchable. This takes conditions are not normally available in small cages. Notice the word, normally.

Please do not get me wrong, you can hatch eggs laid in shoe boxes, but its not normal. Its always percentages, normally improper nesting and temperature selection, results in a high percentage of non-hatchable eggs. Proper temp selection and nesting results in a high percentage of hatchable eggs. Getting methods righ is judged by percentage of hatch. A high percentage means something is right. Getting no, or low hatchrates means your doing something wrong. When attempting to breed monitors, its just about that simple.

To make it clear, getting a croc monitor to lay eggs and do it many times in a year, is not and has not been a problem.

By the way, how are all those eggs you recieved doing? Post some pics of them. We would all enjoy that. Thanks FR
