ANY BREEDING INFO WOULD HELP US
THANKS AND A NICE DAY

Very few if any, its my understanding that jobis are not easy to bred, incubate. This is why the question was ignored a couple of weeks ago. Try some of the other Mnitor forums. Goodluck, Clint

there are only a couple people that have gotten babies (on the forums), some others have gotten close. He did get one response with the last post.

I really think if you have to ask how to breed them, you have a long road ahead of you. A better question might be how to keep them properly, without that any other knowledge is moot, and I do think all the breeding problems (my own included of course), come down to improper husbandry.

Well as I said they come from the island of waigeo, there's an other similar jobiensis from batanta with smaller dorsal dots, when viewed in person the pattern and coloration is very different, however photos on the net can be confusing.
Also I mentioned that they have no special needs, other then basic varanids husbandry.
As for any tropical forest species (especially prasinus group) they seek dryer nesting 50-75% as opposed to many African Australian species exposed to a more seasonal humidity pattern, a very common husbandry mistake is to keep them too humid. Aim particularly fund of this specie because of its social complexity, they are the only monitors that I keep in groups, I never needed to separate them, however the few times that I did reintroduction was problematic. My ambient temps are 80-87f with multi basking in the 120-150f ranges year round, clean water will be used on a daily basis, I consider them as indicus or mertensis, watching them hunt goldfish in a 400 gallon tank made me realise how aquatic they really are.
