Theres a couple of young gouldi pics, a male and a female. I have been producing these for about 10 years or so, Maybe a few less, I forget.

heres the girl,

And heres the boy, hes a bit younger,

What is very odd to me is, I produced hundreds of these, and as easy as this group is to breed, I do not see anyone other then a couple zoos, breeding them. I mean, after all those forest monitors are hard, and wild caught. But these are easy and captive bred, yet all you fine experts still have problems, hmmmmmmmmm I have to wonder.

In lieu of that.

Now heres the best of all, heres the old bag(her actual name) and mate. Shes in the back, Shes(she was hatched here) has laid 59 clutches already and is now getting on with her 60TH, dude and dudeettess, that is my most amazing accomplishment(for me and her). Think about that, 60 clutches from one female. GIVE ME A FRIGGIN BREAK. Oh by the way, the mother to the above gouldi laid 20 clutches in two years, some up to 25 eggs. (insert long hardy laugh here)

I think I hate people, they are dumb(and stupid too) as a stone(get some humor folks), they get all excited over a first captive breeding with something thats been breeding for the history of its exsistance in world, yet take no consideration over an accomplishment this female has given(and my humble support, I am the caddy, hahahahahaha) Besides, this has been going on for a very long time and fine varanid folks cannot even copy worth a hoot. What is the heck the matter with you folks. Seriously after all these years, I am starting to think someone is putting dumb dust in your water. I know, I know, I have an attitude, but can you blame me, after hundreds of generations and you fine "experts" cannot even get off the starting block. What! are you standing in mud. Guezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Anyhoot, this is her third male, shes kinda hard on the lads. Its her son for clutch 45. hahahahahahahahahaha it was a good vintage. Actually its the third male she has excepted, she has booted out a number of others. Shes kinda into incest. Cheers

P.S. folks, after all these years, I do have an attitude as its getting pitiful at all the rampant failure with such easy animals to keep and breed.

I saw your trough top on the other place, looks great!

couldn't say it any better, thanks Frank. Prayin for you to produce Perenties someday in the US, slainte'

since no one on here will do anything but try and agree or stay on frank's good side, allow me to retort:

RESOURCES and FRAME of MIND

The average joe simply does not have the resources to house and care for animals like that. Who in their right mind would even want to care for hundreds of monitors. (yes, i know most probably get monitors with the idea of breeding them someday). However, breeding monitors is not mine or most peoples job, or even main hobby. Outdoor enclosures? The majority of the U.S.'s population does not have the environment for that, let alone the money for the property. I know it varies, but property down south away from the major cities, for the most part, is dirt cheap compared to the northeast. Those are just a few of the first things that popped in my head and I'm sure I could go on.

Again, frank, you are the man when it comes to monitors and people like me count on you and others for your experience so don't take this as anything but me poking the fire, but come on.
I know you are constantly helping people out, but really the entire monitor hobbyist population in the states fits easily on to just two forums.

Simply put, VERY few people even know what a monitor is, let alone want to breed them. Then, after you subtract all the 12 year olds off that list, I guarantee you just about none of them want the rampant success you've had, they couldn't handle the load.
