Thanks Scott, we are loving these guys already! The female likes to try and bite but she will get use to us once she's settled in. :cheers:

Just out of curiosity do these eat the same prey items as a monitor would?

Almost the same, our Savannah will only eat rats for some reason as he doesn't like mice very much. These two Gilas are feeding on Mice.

We wont start breeding them until this coming season, the female is only an 09 and needs a little more weight on her. :yes:
