Excellent news!!! This is another one of those I've wanted since childhood. Komodos was the other one :-). Too bad they are so slow at getting around to breeding. I think sexual maturity is reached at about 25 years of age. A slow repopulation effort but maybe someday it will prove successful.

That's awesome. I remember reading about those guys as a kid. I havent read anything about them in many years. Good to know they are still around and kicking.

Quig make you a deal. You try to get a pair of those eggs, Ill work on some Komodos, and then we'll trade. :)
