Lace Monitor Colourations

[Simon_Archibald]

Hi all,
Am I right in assuming that a normal phase Lace Monitor bred with a Bells phase Lace Monitor may possibly produce some percentage of both colour phases?

pretty sure they would have some of each. how come mate you getting some lacy's?

 

[Springherp]

Apparently this is incorrect, if you breed the two phases you get both bell and normal phase hatchlings. I thought it was weird when I heard it, but it is definately true.

yeh springherp,
I was talking to andrew awhile ago about the same matter and he said that you never a mixture on the same animal. If thats what you mean. Although i recon a half normal half bells phase would look pretty cool.
Im hopeing to get one soon

 

[Simon_Archibald]

Sorry guys,
What I meant is you may get 3 bells phase lacies and 3 normal phase lacies in a clutch - not a half bells/half normal animal.

Ricko, Yes I'm buying a normal phase lacie soon because it's come along at the right time and right circumstances, but I really want a Bell's too so just making sure it was possible to do.

yeah bells are awesome mate, i have played with a mates 6ft lacy and some of them can be quite nasty but others just wanna rip ur arm oipen. make sure u post some pics when u get it mate. what are u getting male or female?

 

[Simon_Archibald]

Haven't heard back from the bloke regarding sex - it wasn't a worry 'cause I'm only getting the one at this stage and then I'll find a Bells phase animal of the opposite sex.

Also, the bloke who's selling it to me is gonna send through a pic or 2 on the weekend so I'll put it up then. Can't wait.

simon, are you plannig to get it from andrew?

 

[Simon_Archibald]

No Scott I'm not. I was going to purchase 3 Bells hatchlings from Andrew later on in the year but I already have a pit ready to go for an adult pair so that's why I'm buying adults.

Simon, give David Millar who is a member of Ausherps list an email. He works at the Aus museum and keeps Bell's phase.
I cant remeber his addy off hand but it'll be in the membership list.
