Monitor pictures-Thread

I love it. they look so close to dinosaurs... how big do sandies grow?

I think the same thing all the time. Lacies especially look so much like the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park.
According to Wikipedia, they get to about 140cm

First two pics are a wild Heath Monitor I found crossing the trail in the Royal National Park.

Other two are of a Heathy that came into care through Wires, and I got to release him.
As you can see he had a bit of an attitude and stole one of my gloves as I was setting him free lol.

Nice Heath! I've only seen one in the wild and that, too, was in the Royal.

The first two pics are interesting. I didnt think heath monitors were into climbing trees.

I've seen two heathies here on the south coast, both this summer. The first one was sitting on the side of the road and let me follow it around, at a respectable distance. The second was D.o.r

First time I have seen this thread (been away from APS for a very lon time).
Here are some pics of a Lacie that I saw in the wild a few weeks ago. Pretty shy, but a good looking fella:

Thanks. It was darker than the others basically black and white with red down the middle and the pattern looks defined. Hope it holds it into its adult life.
