Black roughneck monitors anyone??

If you want to play it safe; any Australian species offered from a breeder, not a pet shop, will be captive bred.
Look around some monitor specific sites and you'll find people breeding many great species.

I'm lucky up here in Canada I have access to captive bred acanthurus (have two), ornatus (have one), niloticus, salvator, beccarri, prasinus and panoptes. Kimberly rocks, storris and other species are available on occasion as well.

As a general rule, be very suspicious of any species which is not Australian. Getting animals out of Australia is very difficult so most babies of these species are captive bred.

Pretty much anything you find at your local herp store will be wild caught.Now as far as Black Roughnecks.I had a pair and I thought they where great.But they are not for everyone.They like most monitors are difficult to care for.You said you have a Savanna,why not get another one and try to pair it up.Keeping one monitor in a box is a death sentence.And you will learn so much more about them when kept in pairs.
