First time hatched in the US.

Made it out fully and it is super healthy and strong as can be. Cant wait for the other clutches to hatch. Should be awesome to watch the color change on this one.

And just to give you an idea on how small this hatchling is, the holes in the SIM grid are only 5mm.

Varanus kingorum (King's goanna) a dwarf Monitor from Australia. These are "leucistic" forms of the normal type. Congrats guys. Quick work! LOL

Don't worry, most reptile keepers have never so much as heard what a king's monitor is lol. They are extremely rare outside australia, added to that fact, its an even rarer color mutation!

But great job guys! Good luck with the project!

Thats even cooler then feeding a blood python to a king cobra.

I had a pair of kingorum I bought from FR back in '99 breeding. Unfortunetly the female died eggbound while i was at the '99 IRBA show in Las Vegas. I'm pretty dang sure that Frank was breeding these back then.
