They were imported under Doreanus. Once they were re-classified no export permits were granted. No population assesment has been done to my knowledge, so who knows if they'll ever come in legally, again. Most failed miserably trying to keep these things. They were very aggressive and IMO one of the Monitors not really suited for a captive environment, at least not what the majority of keepers can provide.

Oh, as for where they all went? Most didn't last a year, at least the ones that I kept track of.
