Can anyone give me a line on Storr's Monitors. Care sheets, breeders, pertinent information, etc.?

There is information on them on varanus.nl, which includes sizes, temps, etc. I have one and he is a real cutie. Nice little guy, solid build, fiesty. I think many of them around could have come from Frank, so check with him. I have read that they are not real tolerant of cage mates unless they either have been raised together since babies or you have a large enough set up to give them lots of individual space. One that was recently for sale in the classifieds was referred to as the "pit bull of the odatrias". There are others on here who have them so maybe they could chime in. I keep my one guy in a 4x2x2. I keep him just like my ackies and he eats pretty much the same as they do. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I'm not real high on housing most herps together except for breeding purposes.
