James Haberfeild in Victoria bred them.

At the moment because they are quiet small they are in a 1250x600x600 fully encasedglass enclosure, mesh top,150watt Halogen heat lamp and Nec10 blacklight fluro,with a hailea filter. because of the ambient room tempreture no water heat is required as yet.
This will change as they grow and their enclosure grows with them.

What are you planning on housing them in when they hit adulthood?
I'm looking at some other Monitors and am wondering about enclosure size.

When they are adults they will go into an avairy type setup with a pond heated hide etc but that is a long way off.
