varanus storri (hi FR)

Hi FR (and anyone else), I was wondering why you are not breeding storrs monitors anymore? I have also heard stories of storrs monitors being more aggressive towards each other(compared to ackies). Is this true in your experience?
thanks a lot.

I stopped breeding lots of different species. And bred others, then stopped breeding those, and back to some of the original ones. All the while breeding a few species for a very long time.

I guess that means, got me why I stopped keeping them. BUT, I was givin a pair and lost the female. Recently I purchased another female and put it with the male and they get along fine so far. No nips butts or bites, yet.

Storrs are more boneheaded(stubborn) then most small monitors, but not as bad as many larger species.

I think most people have problems because they do not know how to sex monitors. Cheers

haha. Yeah I can agree with them being stubborn. My male is so funny. Hoping I can get some babies some time in the future. I like them so much.
thanks again FR

I don't post that often here, but I'm usually always lurking about.

It should be only a few more weeks to go with those eggs. I'll let you know as soon as they hatch.

As you can see in that third pic they were going at it again the other week. I reckon that I'll soon have more eggs to incubate.

Cheers,
Neal
