Well we are talking about varanids here. Where is there any scientific data that is not opinion based that supports people saying that they are social, express and feel emotions, or communicate with eachother. Is there any scientific literature that states what I am say about them coming together only when environmental pressures force them to is untrue? If so, please provide it. Anyone?

Lately, scientific data is more agenda driven than anything. The proof is in the "scientific data" the helped along the banning import/export and interstate transport of large costrictors here in the US. That happens to be a huge hit to our hobby. I wonder if varanids will be next on the hit list.
