Some pics of this lil female; real beauty...

For a color comparison, heres a normal dark phase...

And heres the 2 together...

That's very nice. Now if only those guys got up around the 7-8 foot mark. How cool would that be.

LOL, I was just gonna ask why this was in the monitor furum

Quig

It is pretty though.

Um, nile monitor food? Don't you ever even just entertain the thought, ha ha ha?

Wow, I need to not mess with the computer when Im sleepy.

Sorry bout that, redirect this to the gecko forum if possible/desired.

Note: If those lil buggers got 7-8 ft Id be scared; they arent smart enough to be that big, itd be like a loaded gun, lol..... OOO! SOMETHING WIGGLLING! ...hmmm, finger, worm... same thing....GULP....

As for using em as food- not so much THEM, but the Nile sure likes their eggs.

I remember years ago an article in Reptiles I think, on Madagascan leaf-nosed snakes (Langaha nasuta) The dim wit who did the article was carrying on about how difficult it was to feed them because they eat lizards and went on about freezing anoles and such (I think he was a zoo keeper too) Of course the first thing that came to my mind was breeding P. pictus to feed them. In fact I knew some one who bred them for snake food. I'll bet some of those Aussie monitors would love them.

The males get about the same size as a small mouse; while the females are more like large roaches.

I cant imagine a predatory herp not loving them- much thicker than anoles.
