Well I recieved two infertile clutches, one from each female. I don't know what the issue was but I personally think it was the male as he wasn't a good feeder at the time. Boy have things changed since then!

These animals have grown a ton since I first got them! I keep looking back at pics and the male especially looks like god zilla compared to the old photos! I have begun to monitor his food intake and offer smaller meals. I'm no longer leaving food in the enclosure for all three. Everyone seems to be doing very well and the three are still getting along great! The male has been copulating with the larger female so I would assume the smaller female should start to cycle soon after like the last time.

The male looks massive in this picture, he had a meal not long before. This was 4 days ago.

Here's a few pics of the larger female 4 days after copulation, its been a day or two since her last meal

They look fantastic. I bet it's hard to keep the cage clean with that many animals in one cage. You do good work!

Thanks but I really can't take credit for the clean enclosure. LOL I have never once cleaned the substrate. The pond I have to clean and scrub once a month but other then that my snakes are more upkeep then these lizards haha. My clean up crew includes all kinds of bugs in the substate. They do an amazing job! I don't think I'm to far away from being able to farm meal worms LOL. I have even added gecko's to try and take care of some of the excess bugs. When done right monitors really aren't all that much upkeep! One of the best things is theres no smell! I guess I'll throw the bugs some apples or something for the compliment hahaha...

And it looks like a lot of people are raising blue and green tree monitor successfully, too, and get to breed. Great news, indeed!

Amazing monitors as usual, and fantastic photography!
You weren't kidding, the male looked MASSIVE in the copulation picture lol.
