Very nice. Gilleni? How does it handle?

 

[DeadlyDanny80]

Awesome

 

[Delicateskink]

She is a Tristis, and has a beautiful nature once she calms down, but she obviously wasn't handled often enough as a hatchling and is still very skitterish.

 

[Tristis]

handling monitors as hatchling can stress and kill them, its best to leave them be.
Tristis are also a skittish/shy monitors, so the more you handle it the less you will see it.

Congrats on a nice little monitor, but ditto what Tristis has mentioned.

Nice looking girl you have there... The Monitor bug is starting to bite me now.
Come to think of it, has for a while.

I really wanted a Lace monitor or Perentie, but hubby isn't keen on me having a 6 foot lizard.
He has only just become comfortable with my Blueys, but is wary of my pythons.:lol:

I have named her "Walanja" (Wol-un-yah), which is Aboriginal (Mudburra language) for Goanna.


She shares a 6ft x 4ft enclosure with my Coastal carpet python, (who has interacted with my other lizards since she was a hatchling and definitely has no interest in eating them).
She has settled in well and is enjoying her new home, (I think).

She may be my first, but I will DEFINITELY be expanding my Varanus collection in the near future!
