What age or size do Argus become interested and have the ability to breed? I know the information in objective, but I would like to hear some observations. I have never come across any information on this in my research over the last year.

this is an old picture

There are chameleons, pythons, and monitors in my jungle room.

np

Tripod was 29 inches in that picture. The picture is a couple of months old. He/She is 32 inches now. I got Tripod a few months ago from someone who had it for a year.

My other Argus, Thrasher, is a lot younger and is 30 inches now. He/She was 18 inches 5 months ago.

I put Tripod in with some one elses 2 other Argus (aprox. 33 and 30 inches) who I know are at least 2 or 3 years old and left them for a week. None of them got gravid (that I know of). They all got along great.

I have tried to put Thrasher and Tripod together, but they did not get along at all. I was hopeing to keep them in the same enclosure.

I wish I knew what the sex of all these monitors are. They could all be female for all I know.

I've had mine breeding at 9 months. I have heard reprts of them breeding at 6 months but have not yet observed that myself.

I hope this helps.

Wow, I was not expecting to hear 6 or 9 months!!!! That is incredible.

Thanks for the info
