Is that a v.scalaris? If not what is it? Is this a normal thing that they do?

It's a Ridge-tailed Monitor (V.acanthurus) and I've heard this is quite common. Tough break mate.

Oh and skunk....why the hell did you put them back together??? Wasn't it just last night I told you the best thing would be to separate them and keep them that way...in properly setup enclosures???

hey Simon, yes i know but since they were fighting in the smaller tank, i opted to put them back into the bigger tank with more hides just for the night because i had the smaller on in a plastic tub which wasnt the best place to put it in.
well this morning i got up & found the other one in its mouth.
i dont tihnk its anthing to do with how many hides i gave them because i have Heaps in the big tank. the acckies are only bout 15cm or so..so they have heaps of space in a 4x2x2.
what i suspect is that the small one that got eaten is a male, & so is the bigger one. the 3rd one which is just as big as the one that did the eating might be a female because they never fight. its only the 2.
1 big male & 1 small male & a female. guess the bigger one didnt want the smaller boy around his woman.

What a shame. On the bright side, the bigger one survived the meal, unlike sometimes happens with snakes in the same scenario. thats nature. Best wishes with the remaining two. :wink:

update guys, remmber how i originally had 3 acckies ? & the bigger one ate its smaller sibling ? well now i have only 1.
just 2 seconds ago i went into my room only to smell sumtihng NASty.
looked into the enclosure & this is what i saw.
i have come to the conclusion that the last ackcie i have left is possesed & therefore its name is lector since it loves to eat its mates.
