Hi all as the heading states I'm wondering what the liscence requirements are for crocs. Thanks all

So my Lacey has out grown his/her enclosure and is about to go into the new one next week. Anyhow I'll just be running a 100watt flood light without a thermostat during the day to meet the 40-50 degree basking spot however where I live can get chilly at night but our house is reasonably new and...

I am only fairly new to the whole monitor side of things so basically I just wanted some personal opinions on some monitors, so if you can tell me anything about either of the 4 below that would be great... I have basic knowledge from what you read on the net but that doesn't account for the...

Hi all I've been using GU10 downlights on a number of small varanid over the last 8 months. Great on the wallet and last much longer than flood lights. I was wondering if anyone is using GU10 Dichroic bulbs that produce UV? I know several keepers do, but I can not find the particular brand...

Hi guys, just wanting to know how to make a hatchy lace monitor settle in. cheers

Ok well basically I am looking at getting my first monitor, to get the experience to eventually be able to own my own bell phase Lacey. But in the past I have only kept blueys, beardeds, snakes, scorpions, turtles. Never monitors. Id like to be able to have a larger if not largest possible...

Hi All It's that time of year again for the 4th annual Gold Coast Reptile Expo . The dates this year are July 13th & 14th. It would be great to get more private collectors to come and show off what they have. All private displays are free of charge. It will be held at parklands showgrounds...

Hi Just wondering how easy it is to walk a monitor (like a dog)

Just wondering if anyone else out there collects skulls?

Just wondering where people have found wild Lace monitors spending their cooler months? Are they generalist or is there a tendancy to specialise, say, arboreal over terrestrial sites, for example?

Hi, I have been exploring ways to heat the aquarium I am setting up for my stimmie. I live in Cairns, so won't need to heat continuously. I only want to give her belly heat for the cooler winter days and when she has to digest. The aquarium is sitting on this stand: I have a sheet of...

Hi guys Just after some advice. Do tarantulas like woodies? I have a strennus who normally likes crickets. Just thinking of breeding woodies

THE COP has been finalised and is being implemented now to private keepers. Cage sizes become law now. This was taken from an internal memo about reptiles in pet shops: "People who keep pet reptiles under an Animal Keepers Licence or Companion Animal Licence are now required to comply...

My lace monitor (Snickers) was looking a little bored and restless, so I gave him a paper towel roll to play with. Thought it was pretty funny to watch him get his head stuck in it, freak out, pull it off, wonder "what on earth just happened", then stick his head straight back in and do it all...

Hi, I'm sorry to ask so many questions but I'm merging my pictures for a trip report ;-) Is this a Varanus scalaris or a Varanus varius? I took this picture in Atherton Tablelands... Thanks, Alexandra

Did a callout and the place was a huge shed owned by a, um, collector. I won't go into details but suffice to say there was more stuff in there then an infinite number of monkeys could poke an infinite number of sticks at, Needless to say snake was not sighted. The woman has left flour around to...

Being only young in the hobby and care for 3 snakes, (soon to be 5) this isnt my favourite part. I was just moving ne of my jungle from feeding tub to enclosure, i touched her, she was fine and then she grabbed me, she is only just over a year old (so only small) but she can bite. So far this is...

Iv had a Facebook with 2000 friends on it for a long time and decided I wanted to change the name, so recently I made a new one with 5 friends and the new name with the intentions of added heaps of people and being alpha as (with the new name etc) But iv come to like being alone, I don't have to...

Hey guys! I just ordered some sliding glass doors the other day for my enclosure. It'll be my first proper enclosure (one that's not a click clack), so this may seem a bit of a silly question to some of you, but I don't want to regret not asking down the track. I was so stoked that I'd finally...

So i rang the licensing department today and asked about if i applied (as i have applied) to keep these 3 species/families as i had previous experience with the families do i need to do something extra to add species/families later on, and what i was basically told by them was if i have class...

Went for a month long trip to the East Gippsland area of Victoria as i do over summer every year, and also ventured a little into south coast Nsw. Found many interesting reptiles as usual and also some stunning frog species. Enjoy :D Eastern Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus) by Matt Clancy...

Apparently one of the early editions of the now defunct Reptiles Australia magazine had a feature on Lace Monitors by Drew Smith from Adelaide. Does anyone have a copy of the magazine or a photocopy of the article that they could send me? Thanks in advance.

We just picked up 2 new juvenile Lace Monitors from Reptile City to go in a new enclosure I built. We already have an adult female, I'm hoping one of these is a male. They have so much character, one is quite happy to crawl up on to my arm already. Both ate a velvet mouse almost immediately...

Everyday birds fly into my window and die, rats and mice turn up in my traps, small birds fall from nests in trees and die, my dog will take down a rabbit or a possum. Its seems like a waste of a good food source but all I do with these bodies is dispose of them. I would like to feed them to my...

WTB: Lace Monitor, prefer under 12 months old, NSW Central Region if possible. Drop me a PM if you can help... and before anyone asks I hold an R3 licence.

I am so uninspired lately! I Need inspiration so can you please post photos of your decorated enclosures. I have been looking at my empty tank getting annoyed with myself for not having the get go. I purchased the tank and it had the foam back ground I think that's the down fall. Hubby knows...

Hello, I was hoping someone could enlighten me on the best lace monitor substrate. I have kept other monitors but never from hatchy size, it was usually the result of someone being unable to care for them as a adult. Do lacies have a tendency to ingest their substrate while feeding? I wanted to...

Hi, Im hoping for some info from herp keepers who know a bit more about what species fit where in regard to licence. I'm doing some research as to what license is required to keep a boyds forest dragon, southern angle headed dragon and lace monitor in South Australia? I am assuming they are...

Hey guys, I just want some different opinions on how to raise a lace monitor. I've heard many different ways to do it, but some other advice would be good. Happy to take in all advice, even if your way is 100% different to someone else's... cheers!

Just wondering who is going to the VHS expo and/or who is having a store there?, I'm asking out of curiosity. In case your wondering I'm going. I went last year as well.:D:D:D Can't wait.

I caught this yesterday and wasn't sure what type it is ? But after i caught i fell in love with it and now want to buy one, I have an aviary around 3 m long 1.5 m wide 2 m high and doesn't have anything in it and i thought that would be perfect for a large lizard. My question is what monitor...

Ive been thinking of getting a Gillens Monitor for some time now, but Im not sure if I need a special license or not. I cant seem to find anything about it either.

Hi all. im finally comfortable with taking the next step in my reptile lifestyle and I believe im ready for my dream pet. I already have 2 pythons, only juvenils. time to get a monitor and in particular the lace monitor. ive researched and ive even spent time with a bloke who has one of his own...

OH BUGGER IT! My little lace monitor vulcan (see my avatar) has done a houdini somehow and has escaped his enclosure in the garage. Now hopefully he's still in there some where or he's scooted up into the roof for warmth/mice. Has anyone got any suggestions on how to trap him? I'm...

At the moment i am camping in northern nsw, and today i decided to go looking for reptiles in the bush. And when i was in there i saw a lace monitor start sprinting in the bush and it headed up a tree and caught a bird (which i think was a sacred kingfisher). You could hear all the other birds...

I've only just been sent this; "face to face with a goanna". No need to tell you who I was rooting for :)! Gave me a good laugh....I'll have to show the mob up North. Not linked BTW (computer illiterate-my bad)

I had a look through my folders and discovered that I had more wild herp pics than I realised and thought I'd throw them in here together. I know some of the species but not all but I'm happy to just post them and see how many can be identified by the experts in here... something I am far from...
