Took some quick iphone pics today.

One of our banded Albigs was out and about. We have a pair of these. With so few reptiles on hand now, we get a lot more focus time with the monitors, so I am hoping to have these breed for 2012.

We also got in a group of 4 captive hatched (gravid wc female) Spinulosis monitors. Just kinda stumbled into these. Neat looking monitors, extremely rare as babies. Hoping to breed them in 2012 as well : )

The Albig adults are only about 1.5 ft snout to vent, really a nice workable size.

Awesome! Good luck with them, I hope they all produce well for you guys!

Are the Spinulosis commonly called "Torch Monitors?" [ if they're the ones I'm thinking...they get a red head as they age ] ~

They look great. I wish you the best of luck. The Spinulosis look wicked.

Great to see you on here Robyn.. Fantastic looking Varanus as well.

I quit frequenting "that other place" because I have little tolerance for all the bickering.

Thanks! Outside the tree monitor complex, I'm totally clueless. ~
