Hi Guys
We have hatched out some of the rare in captivity, Kimberly Rock monitors.
There are 2 locality types of KRMs.
They come from NT & the NT/WA border.
The less common of the two, we call the "red banded Kimberly’s" we have had some success.
Our female laid 4 eggs & we hatched 4.:D
They hatched in 90 days at 30.5 degrees.

Well done,what an impressive monitor,really wish you had bred more :D
 
Well done Jason,they are awesome coloure monitors...would you be selling any at all...MARK
 
love those banded ones! would love to get some one day.
 
Thanks for the comments!
We have 7 more eggs 1/2 way through incubation.
The adults are still breeding well.
Hopefully should get around 6 to 8 clutches more yet.
There is a large waiting list for the KRM, sorry, for any wanting them soon that do not have there name down already.

Here is some more pics of our breeders & hows the pic with the breed pair sleeping with there noses in the sand.:)

If anyone is breeding any Varanus eremius I am very interested in buying or swapping.

Hey Jason, any full pics of thier enclosures?
looks like you keep them the same as ackies.
 
Here is a pic of our breeding set-up that we use.
They are easy to keep & breed!
Keep them like Ackies with stuff to climb on.

We had 4 more eggs from the same female that just hatched.
Tally is 11 eggs.:)
