see how the yellow came back, this is no tric photo.

I bet they will get even more intense by next summer.

Thanks for giving them back to me, I really enjoy them more then all other monitors iv kept, oh by the way I started hand feeding them again
will post photos when they get use to my camera.

Hi jobi. Not justin, but that nile is very nice. Have you ever kept niles from Botswana? They are my favorite local. Also, I saw pics of the bewani doreanus. Frow the pics I saw only one looks like what I knew to be bewani doreanus. One is mostly white, one is mostly black, and the other one looks like a jayapura. Which one is the norm? Thanks. Tyler.

I have not seen Bostwana nils, do you have a photo?

these nils I have are from Kenya, they look much like ornatus but much smaler and have a dark toung.

I know of only 5 type of nils, ornatus, kenya, tanzania, egypt (blue nil) and the notorious comon nile from western Africa, perhaps the most nervous of all.

in regard to doreanus, the only way to tell them apart (jayapura vs bewanie) is when young, jayapura babies are orange and black while bewanies are grayish blue and brown, as adult both are similar in coloration and pateurning.

I only like the irian jaya type, they keep a rich coloration and deep blue tail even in old age.

I will talk you about something interesting with orange when we see each other.
Take care, Jedi!
