2 years have gone by quick!

Haephus, our Ornate monitor (Varanus ornatus), hatched out 2 years ago today. I did not produce him, a fellow varanid enthusiast here in Canada did. I knew I had to get one!

We celebrated by me toasting him with a nice rum & coke, and I gave him a medium and a small rat, without the candles, lol.

It's hard to get an accurate measurement, but he's pretty close to 6 feet. His new enclosure is in the works, but I can't finish it fast enough; I was hoping to move him in today but it's still a ways off.

Here's some pics I took tonight after feeding. I put the deli cup that I brought him home in next to him so you can get some idea of the growth rate.

He is just an awesome lizard.
