I did say I was jumping to the conclusion. It's nice to know I was wrong and equally nice you didn't re-react (like me). Thanks.

Hoping for Aussie monitors? Argus are just that. They are the panoptes that stayed in the north country when sea levels crept back up. I brought that up in a recent post, but, I was contradicted that they originated in (south?) Indo only to migrate to Australia. To me, that soundes like it came from a paper that was striving a little too hard to please a funding commission, perhaps minus a complete fossil record and plus a lot of speculation. Aah, look at me - this theory is better than that theory - I can play the hypocrite role.

The mangroves are definitely Aussie (even though mine came from IJ). But, the ones I had went to ruins, so until I free up more time and other factors, I'll just look at your (pics) Aussie monitors, among others.
