Reptile & Amphibian Forums

So I was forced to sell all my monitors and other herps several years ago due to travel and living in an apt and I now have a house and looking to get back into the hobby. I have been reading alot of the posts but when I look in the classifieds and posts there are no ackies, Flavi's, or whitethroats. I would like to buy a Frank Retes whitethroat or two and if thats hard to come by then perhaps a pair of flavis or ackies. Can someone point me in the right direction to find some of these varanids! Thanks!

All three are not being produced like they a couple years ago. Do to breeders not having consistent success.
Pure Sand goannas and CBB white throats will be more difficult to find, from what I have gathered.

Proexotics has red ackies
Rare earth inc has yellow and red ackies
Robert Faust has CBB Whitethroats

Pure Sand Goannas?

These are all top shelf animals, not cheap.
I have emailed all three and they will have some later this year.

Also FR said at this time he is not selling to the public, I don't know if that means never again. At least for the foreseeable future he is not.

The Riverbanks Zoo was working a group of pure sand goannas... I have not heard from Scott in over a year... Best to you all- Mike

Those are V.gouldi, not V.flavirufus. In fact, thats were my gouldi came from. Cheers

I just hatched a clutch of flavis and another clutch started to pip yesterday. Your right, I am not selling red ackies to the general public. Just to those I know well or have previously promised. Red ackies and hopefully topenders will be sold to one place. But the rest who knows. Cheers

Good stuff. I am sure you will be able to find some, maybe not today. But keep looking, checking the classifieds.

So Frank you are not selling Red Ackies to the public but what about your Flavis and Whitethroats? How can I get in touch with you to get a pricelist of what you have available? Thanks!

Chris

Does anyone know how to get a hold of Robert Faust to see if he has any white throats available?
