listed in the classifieds, Obviously wild caught, but I never saw one that looks like this and was thinking of buying it.

What do you guys think? I never saw colors like that on any dumeril, not even a youngin'.

The monitor in the photo is a Varanus rudicollis

Paul,
I almost would be willing to think it is a cross breed. Looks like a dumerilii, but also like a tree monitor. Not a bad price! I too was looking at that last night. If I had another cage I would've bought it.

It's not a hybrid , just collected from a different locality.
Not all black rough necks are black , they vary a lot in color by locality.
I have seen them colored like this before . I have also seen them many different colors - had some that where black with very bright blue markings and some that were almsot solid gold in color .
