I hope your ok?
I am posting hear cause my email needs to be reconfigured, and the wife is the computer wiz, she will be home late.

This is the pair I grabbed for you, a little skinny but in good condition, I washed them and put them in a barrel, they started feeding immediately, the male actually took his first cricket out of my fingers, they are not shy at all, not like your ornatus, and nothing like regular nil’s, you will like them I am sure.

I'm ok, don't forget i'm a panawan!
Hummm, can't wait to see meet them
Thank's, and take care.

Surly they will become your favourite nil’s.
My male looked exactly like yours 2 weeks ago, his pattern and colors are changing fast, and his temper is like a Sumatran water, very nice.

Next year these will look like totally different monitors, the black will shrink to 20% or even less? And the yellow and blue will get more intense.

If you don’t want them I can keep them, no problem!

I can attest to the color changes but mine have nasty tempers.

They turn really nice Jodi, Same locality as mine?
Did the last pics is a blue Egypt?
Not the same specie but can't wait to see this one adult.

Thank's and Take care!

The first pictures are of the same local as your soon to be new ones. The last two pictures are of an egyptian blue.

That one you posted pictures of should turn out nicely.

HI JODI
I tough this was the one you hatched?
It sure looks like those in every way, they are from Kenya.
Nil’s have such a large distribution, its possible many populations look similar. In thus I just posted only the females are a bit testy, but this holds true even for black throats and many other species.
I sure hope they will keep being outgoing, inquisitive and none aggressive, this make them a pleasure to keep.

Hears a photo of this ssp from the net, it’s the photo that got me interested in this morph, somehow I think it’s the prettiest nil iv seen, tough Justin says he’s seen a nicer one in Faust book.

Pleas Jody tell me more about this animal and its origins.

I hatched one from my high yellows. But the one I posted is the same locality as the ones you showed.

They are very colorful niles that I rarely see available. I have seen some adults that are much nicer then the one you posted. One was mislabled as being hypo.

NICER? Pleas don’t show me, cause this animal I posted is hunting my dreams already.

I know we will hatch many incredible babies from them, its always exiting to play with such polymorphic lizards.
