Howdy folks...
Well it's been a while since I've stomped the ground around these forums and as many of you may remember I'm a goanna-lover to the core. I've kept 7 species all up, was fortunate enough to have bred 1 species and a female of another species threw a dud clutch of eggs due to lack of a male in her enclosure.
Since I'm far too lazy to search through the existing threads on the subject, many of which may only contain one or 2 photos, I'm keen to hear from anyone who keeps monitors....what species do you keep, indoor or outdoor enclosures, and PUT UP SOME PICS of the animals and enclosures if you have some.
I'm in the process of setting up some enclosures of-site from where many people know I live...both a space and security thing...so I'll be sure to add to this in the coming months.

Here's a pic of my little fella. He is a Storrs's Monitor. Have'nt got one of the full enclosure yet. Not quite finished to my liking. 
Enjoy

Hi Nathan
The backing is a Universial backing. U can get them from most reptile shops and fish shops. www.universalrocks.com.au
I got my pair from a guy called Rob Porter. He lives on the coast. I have the details somewhere if u want them. Im also sure that a few people on here from SE Qld breed them as well. Try Pike1.
Cheers
Splitty
