Varanus Brevicauda

[Tristis]

i put them in a tube with some water it makes it real easy.

 

[MannyM]

So they're that small at full size?

 

[grimbeny]

They really are tiny.

 

[Kratos]

Tthey dont call them the smallest monitors for nothing

 

[Kratos]

Any better?

Are these any better?

 

[cris]

At a rough guess i would say 2 males and 1 female, maybe 2 females but they could be anything really.

 

[Tristis]

the lizard on the right looks male with the other two look female.

 

[OzGecko]

I'd probably go with 2 males and a female. In the second shot the animal in the middle looks to have a narrower head, but this may be due to the angle. If that is the case, they may all be males.

 

[Kratos]

Is there any way that you can tell for sure? I hope your right tristis, ill be giving the guy a call if its a trio of males

 

[richardsc]

id say male on the right and females on the left,but from my understanding they r hard to sex,but males apparently will be bigger headed,there r a couple of good breeding articles in herpetofauna and monitor magazine,herpetofauna volume 29 number 2 and monitor vol 15 number 1,hope that helps,if they r ok together im sure they will show u what sex they r if the breed for u,good luck with those little beasties,keep us posted on there progress

Hey Kratos, you lucky bugger!
I loved those brevi's on display at the expo.
Do you want to swap some bubs for some amyae?

 

[Kratos]

Hey mate, there awsome ay. For sure id swap a bub for some Amyae, but i got to get them breeding 1st. Anyways ill keep you posted and hopefully we can do some business. By the way what did you have in mind as a swap Im still after some girls.

 

[fishead]

hey mate, I don't have any spare amyae girls sorry. I was thinking some of this coming season's hatchies to swap. I guess we can sort that when the time comes.
Did you end up getting that girl Sarah auctioned?
I don't have any experience with brevicauda but if they are anything like my accies I'd say you have a male and two females. Purely by head size and overall size. Have you had a close look for any spurs? Run your finger over the spurs too.

 

[Kratos]

Nah Saz found another way to get the money and withdrew the sale. Do both males and females have spurs? I'll have to wait till tomorrow but ill check them out

Hi Jason,

I got a trio yesterday myself they are Stunning, the male has a larger head than the two females i have.

 

[grimbeny]

Got any pics Bigblue?

 

[BIGBLUE]

Not yet as I work 12 hour days, BUT when i can i will take a few pics

 

[Southside Morelia]

It looks like you have 1 Male & 2 Female.
Awesome little guys, are you going to have them on display?
I'd be interested in hatchies if they go next season.

 

[BIGBLUE]

Not sure what you mean about having them on Display?, if they breed i will sell some

 

[Kratos]

What do you mean have them on display?
