New Savannah Monitor Subspecies!!!

HappyHillbilly Sep 07, 2007 12:20 PM

I couldn't keep this a secret any longer, I just had to share it with ya'll.

This new sav subspecies shows the direct effect that locale has on various monitors. I think you'll be amazed, if not shocked.

The area of orgin is limited to a very small, southern mountainous region right here in the USA. That's right, here in the USA. I didn't want to wait for it to be classified or studied so I went ahead and gave it its Latin name, which, when translated, will be it's trade name, also.

Are you ready for the photo?

Are you sure?

OK, here we go.

I present to you: Varanus turpis dentis

What did you expect from me???? Ha! Ha!

Incidentally, for those of you trying to figure out its trade name, a variant of one of the translated words is used. You should be able to figure it out.

Oh, the common name is: (Do you really need me to tell you?) "Hillbilly Monitor" Theyre from the southern Appalachian mountians. Heck, it took the feds 5yrs to find Eric Rudolph around here so I'm not worried about anyone finding these rascals.

I am the only one you can get these from. I haven't decided on a price just yet but they ain't gonna be cheap. I was thinkin' about $20,000 each, as is.

I'll also be offering a limited number of these monitors that have had dental correction. My dentist, who also happens to be the community Vet (don't recall which one he started out doin'), did I nice job on one of the siblings of the one pictured above. Please see the photo at the bottom.

Ya'll have a good one!

By the way, in all honesty, this is not a jab at Robyn, _varanidae, academics, science, pet dealers, pet keepers, my momma, country folk (like me), or anyone else.

It's dead around here,
I'm tryin' to spread some cheer.
That's all.

Quig, Shannon, - glad it worked for ya'll!

Have a great day!
