Just a pic od my girl, post of some pics of your mertens...
 
How big do they get to ? and do they make good pets ? I am interested in getting another kind of Monitor....Some thing that is bigger then a Ridge tail but not too big.
 
I just love Mertens and when I start getting back into monitors I will get some more.
 
Already on my Monitor (& enclosure space) wishlist...
Great shots by the way...

Any reptile is never really going to be a "Pet" as such, but some will tolerate us more that others, I have a Sandie that is harness trained and seems to enjoy my company but he was handled often from juvie size. Even so I do not take that for granted as a fright could result in me being bitten or used as a tree :D

WA Acckies get quiet large but are very expensive, but I would suggest a Sandie easier to handle than a lacie not as skittish as mertons.
 
Here is a photo of our old Mertens, the photo was well before digital so isn't the best. I guess it was about 12 years ago.
It lived fulltime with the Bearded Dragon and they got on like a house on fire.

Awesome monitors. Great pics, I love the feeding shot - do you use thawed yabbies or live ones as they can carry lots of parasites?
