What makes you think they're rare? I can think of a number of spots where they are quite common. Where do you live?

We've seen a few through Kuranghai Chase National Park.

I believe he means rare in the hobby which i would think wouldnt be far from the truth

 

[lacerevelation]

the reason i think that they are rare is because they are listed as vunerable and arent exactly a common monitor,

Common in SW WA...

lacerevelation yes I do have some I've got a pair that are about 2 1/2 years old they are beautiful monitors. The ones I've got I can handle and hand feed no worries at all it took a while to get them too this point it's all on there terms but it paid off in the long run I'm very pleased with them just need them too breed now then i'll be stoked.
Cheers Deano

There was a survey done here in the Shoalhaven , sth coast NSW , to find rosenbergs. The survey took at least 6 months, they found one.
Im not sure if this is a reflection of heathie numbers here or a reflection of the people carrying out the survey.
Any photos available ScalyMung?
