Mertens monitors?

varanidfan Nov 06, 2004 07:00 PM

How much do they usually cost? Ive never seen any for sale anywhere but some people are working with them (frank) How often are they available, i think robyn at PE has some too, but you never hear too much about hatchlings for sale. Am i missing the boat here? They are gorgeous animals, and definately on my wishlist. I guess i have enough for the time being.
anyway, thanks

hey harley, yours are magnificent, they look like silk from head to toe, and that blue on their bottom jaw, and all the gold, they could be the most beutiful in my opinion, maybe in a couple more years.... well any way they are beutiful, enjoy them, as i know you will.

I saw some of them on a show tonight. This was the first time I have seen them outsidea book. I enjoyed the footage of them swimming. It reminded me of otters I used to watch.
Very graceful in the water. They must be a total blast just to watch.

hello there, there are a few of us around, im currently keeping alot of the albigularis complex, i have regular white throats, banded white throats, black throats, one savannah monitor, and a couple black and white tegus. Oh yeah, almost forgot my argus/flavi crosses. Its a shame you are way out on the eastern shore, i would love to see a mertens up close and personal, they are awesome there is just something diferent about them, havent put my finger on it yet, but awesome.
