why would you relocate a wild monitor?

It is/was part of my work, fauna spotter catcher on development sites, in this instance this little guy was within a man made trench soon to be backfilled

Looks like she had a pretty decent lunch!

She's a He. She wasn't awake in time for lunch so he ate her lunch too! lol

What do you think?

Wild caught and relocated Short tailed pygmy monitor, less then a week old due to colouration and markings on belly.
Anyone want to confirm it's a V. brevicauda? was hard to get a positive I.D on such a young monitorView attachment 205424

If it's V. brevicauda it would be more than a week old. They are absolutely tiny when they first hatch. Hopefully Crocdoc or someone can help out though...

...or maybe lacies are just a hard act to follow

Here's an earlier post in the thread to give you an idea

Any monitors below 40cm (besides brevicauda) in the hobby?

Accies

Tristis aren't much bigger

Funny, I thought Ackies get from 60 to 70cm..

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Gillen's, Storr's, Caudos (class 2) and a couple other I cannot think of right now.

 

[herptrader]

They vary quite a bit. I have a breeding female that is well under 30cm's though closer to 40 is more normal.

Funny, I thought Ackies get from 60 to 70cm..

Storr's

I like these.

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Storr's have become rare in the pet trade in some places like NSW though I have seen them in pet stores and heard reports they are still going strong in Vic and SA.

I like them too and would love to get some they are class 2 in NSW I think (though my memory is fuzzy).

So as not to distract the picture theme, my first monitor a young Gillen's (I have 2 as of yesterday and already loving them),

Better yet..... I'm getting it for free
