Hey guys

My Sav is now about 2 ft STL and about 8 months old, doing very well. My friend has a 3.5 foot STL rescued male Sav. I am certain that mine is a female but I know it is too young to be sure!

My question is this, if they are a pair, how would we go about breeding them? I know that mine is far too small/young at the moment and it is realisticly a good couple of years away anyway.

Just trying to do a little homework!

I`ve noticed that you lot have had good success with other species of monitors, any advice will be helpful

Him and Daniel Bennett wrote a book about them. Best book on captive care of any monitor species.

do you know the ISBN for that book? and the title?

Also what methods do you guys practise for sexing monitors?

Thanks in Advance

"I am certain that mine is a female but I know it is too young to be sure!"

If it is too young to be sure, how exactly can you be certain it is a female?

Definitely a contradiction of terms.

mine is a young guy, and he supposedly came from a guys friend who had a pair of adults. said he had the problem of the female eating eggs immediatly after laying. mine and 1 other hatched from this particular litter.
now, do i believe that? honestly, from what ive read here, its very unlikely. not impossible, but it does seem that if it were true, at least someone here would know of a guy in georgia having luck breeding boscs. i would love to try and breed mine, but it would be hard to sell any young, when there are tons of cheap imported boscs coming in every day. however, i encourage anyone who has the means to do so to try. good luck and post some pictures of your monitor.
