So I was watching Animal Planet the other day ....

And they were talking about one of the driest areas of australia and the lizards that live through the harsh conditions. Half of the show was focused on what looked like several different Perenties(sp?). They are so freakin awesome, it hurts to look at them. Top dog in that area, if you don't count the wild cats and dogs that stupid humans released. They addressed the fact that the Perenties are moving out of the rocks due to the abundance of rabbits in the flats, also brought by some stupid humans I am fascinated by these guys and wish there was alot more info on them.

From what I can tell, there are rediculously few in the trade, and I have only heard of one person (FR) that has/had one, granted I have not been in this hobby long.

These guys really light my fire, and I was curious if anyone else has had experience with them?

I dream of the day that I can:
A.) Afford
b.) Have room for
and C.) Have a connection to get my hands on one of these guys. Truely an awesome monitor.

Ignorance is bliss, and I have no idea on how factual the guys in the TV were, so if I got the facts wrong, please correct me.
