Hey I found this book on the web....

Just re-reading my license conditions (whilst dreaming at the same time), if I could legally buy one (assuming they are in fact deemed native) then there's nothing stopping me from owning it, they're listed as 'specialist' with Varius, Glauteri etc.

I just found the original article for this photo, I thought they were found in Australia, but the article is talking about the illegal Indonesian trade (not at a European reptile show).

Indonesia remains epicenter for illegal wildlife trade in reptiles and amphibians

I haven't been able to find the post on this forum, but I clearly remember the original poster of this photo saying they had to put them down.

if the origin of the emerald tree monitor is australian then I will buy one without question. Maybe there will be some more on this topic at the 2013 reptile and amphibian expo at the Melbourne showgrounds.

That article is only a month old. That photo has been used previously . Ill see if I can dig up the original article / context for my own sanity at the very least

The black species is V.beccarii, The yellow one is V.reisingeri and the blue one is V.macraei. There are a number of different species in the prasinus group but the only species native to Australia are V.prasinus and V.keithhornei

I agree. I saw Jenna Jameson on the front cover of a magazine at the servo and was very disappointed when told I couldn't have one, two or three of her. Whats the world coming to :lol:
