Do you think John A is the only varanid person I know? LOL. Frank, you know about monitors but nohing about me or what I actually own, keep, or breed. You ASSume a lot.



To answer the OPs question.

I have seen successful breeding, egg laying, and longevity in varanids kept in simple cages with shallow substrates, and the use of nest boxes. Species were all in the gouldi and odatria groups.



I have personally had varanids live for far longer than average in simple caging. I have had female that I never bred of various species lay eggs in nest boxes that Frank says they do not use.
