Varanus yuwonoi and V. acanthurus pics

Snapped a quick shot of one of my V. yuwonoi as it was throwing dirt all over its cage:

And another of our young ackies out for a stroll:

Wow the Varanus yuwonoi is beautiful. Never seen one. He looks pretty big, hard to to tell. How is his temperment? I love the Ackie too! Want to set up a colony one day

V. yuwonoi are extremely defensive. They'll charge any intruder regardless of the size. I've been chased from their cage a couple times. He's over 4 feet and still growing.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone post up as many different species of animals as you do! And they all look amazing!! How do you keep up with all the multitude of different husbandry needs? Your home must be a true zoo! :D
