Hi Gregg, did I ever say you were no good for the hobby?

I am sorry but all I know of you is what you write here.

The problem is, what you say is exactly the same as so many before you. With the same thoughts etc, and they failed. I am trying to help you.

They think because they did well with other reptiles, they will automatically do well with Monitors. So far, that has not worked out so well. Not in the least.

Monitors seem to rely more on behavior and less on instint. Or so it seems.

With most types of reptiles you can follow a recipe and achieve average results, Monitors buck that trend.

About reptiles, I have been breeding lizards since 1962 and snakes since 1964, many world firsts in various areas, etc etc etc. I have kept and bred all manner of reptiles.

Then in 1991, I entered the world of varanids and have succeeded very well, again many world firsts, etc. And generations upon generations of around 20 species of varanids. Including producing 18 different species in one year, but thats a bit of history.

Oh and I still keep and breed other types of reptiles and do field work too.

I still keep and breed varanids. Some hatching as we speak.

I have bred, indo, african and australian species, from amoung the smallest, V.kingorum, caudolineatus, gilleni, etc, thru the largest, V.salvatorri and Varius.

So I report to you what has worked. I wish you well with your first monitor. Cheers
