I have seen these guys at a few shows but never payed much attention until I saw some adult females... I was BLOWN away at how big they were. I handled one and was immediatly reminded of my favorite varanus: v. beccarii

I had been milling over getting one or a pair, after looking through about 8 of them, I picked up a pair :yahoo::yahoo:

Without further adue(sp?)....some pics
Male






Female







Some large females at the show


I noticed that during the day, the males tail remains white(and the other males that were at the show)... but when I took the pictures at night, the females tail had gotten much brighter. Her tail is more brown and her color seems to darken a lot during the day.... just an observation.

They got some dusted crickets last night. and for the time being they are in a basic setup until they've acclimated. Then I'll set them up with some really nicely planted tank. :biggrin:
thanks for checkin' 'em out![/QUOTE]
