Goulds Monitor Questions

[Tristis]

Gorgeous! what is the best time of year to be looking for them Tristis? And what would an average price be on them?

So excited that hubby is finally starting to embrace my addiction!

theres not really a best time as they can lay a clutch a month and eggs take 180-270 days to hatch.
there are not to may people that breeding them either so if you really want one you need to snap it up when you find one.

No problem, I had been looking for about 8 months before I got mine and that seemed about average. Post some pics if you get one

if you happen to see any advertised could you pm me?

Unfortunately their house got flooded So they are inside atm, hoping to set it up again soon. They've been living in a 5' x 5' x 3' (high) outdoor enclosure.

Adult male roxby downs flavirufus in outdoor pit, roxby downs animals are much smaller than other locales in the hobby.

Yea its by far the best way to keep adult sand monitors, the walls go down about 60 cm into the sand, and the bottom is concreted around the sides with a large sheet of woven stainless steel, fine gauge wire mesh in the middle to allow free drainage. I have had spinifex in there for some time with no problems and have just recently added some other local native plants from their natural distribution, which seem to be thriving aswell. The skull is a bit corny I know lol but I had to add it.
