Guess the Varanid...

[GreggMadden]

Imported a 2.2 of these gems...

Here is a hint...
There are far less of these in captivity than Komodo Dragons..

 

[Mr.James]

I've got no idea...looks like a tree monitor...I'll take a punt & say Varanus boehmei

 

[Colin]

awesome looking varanus spinulosus (solomon island spiny neck monitor)
Has this species been bred in captivity? best of luck with them gregg..
I bet Rob Sprackland would be keen to check these guys out haha

 

[JasonL]

Yep, agree with Colin, great looking lizards... anychance of a full body shot?

 

[Mr.James]

Very nice!

 

[GreggMadden]

Colin and Jason know their Varanids... LOL... Good job fellas...
As far as I know there has only been one captive breeding of this species and it was not in the US or anywhere in Europe... We will hopefully be the first ever to do it in the States...

Here is a photo of a pair...

exciting stuff gregg and good luck with them.
you definitely have to keep extensive notes on the whole breeding excercise (with pics too)
