Merci, I have many more. They keep me very busy but out of trouble

Merci, I am glad you like him Rudi, they grow to 1.2m sometimes a little more. Love to swim and often seen in their pool but are also great climbers. They need very high humidity and a deep substrate to burrow into. I use a mix of topsoil and playsand. Diet consists of prawn/shrimp (with shells on), crab, locust, crickets (when young) quail eggs, dubia roaches, freshwater fish like trout, mice and rats. Dumeril monitors are fairly laid back and make amazing captives. A very underated monitor. Jay

Varanus Dumerilii. Male, 1.1M long and gorgeous Jay

Some updated pictures of some of my collection. V. Rudicollis V. Doreanus V. Glauerti V. Indicus V. Dumerilii Jay

Oh well the lizards love it

The reptile shed changes once more Jay

Merci Chance, they are cute They will be separated as they grow. Not 100% on sex yet but have a good idea. I like building big enclosures

All 4 have completely lost the orange colouration now and still growing fast. Jay

Cool "Ackie" very nice

New pics

Thank you Chance. I thought it was time I should update this post. All 4 little ones are growing fast and eating well. No signs of aggression (though they will be separated when older). They still appear to be 50-50 arboreal and aquatic. Mainly feed on the ground but have obseved them eating amongst the foliage too. Starting to loose the bright orange colouration to their heads but still gorgeous. Cheers Jay Merci Chance. J'ai pensé qu'il était temps que je doit mettre à jour ce post. Tous les quatre petits grandissent vite et bien manger. Pas de signes d'agressivité (bien qu'ils seront séparés lorsqu'ils sont plus âgés). Ils semblent encore être 50-50 arboricole et aquatique. Se nourrissent principalement sur ​​le terrain mais ont obseved les manger parmi le feuillage trop. À partir de perdre la coloration orange vif à leur tête, mais toujours magnifique. A bientôt Jay

Thought I would post some new pics of these guys as they are very photogenic

Some short clips of my young Dumerill monitors. Hope you like them Jay http://s611.photobucket.com/albums/tt200/jaymz71/Dumerilli%20vids/?action=view&current=dumerils008.mp4 http://s611.photobucket.com/albums/tt200/jaymz71/Dumerilli%20vids/?action=view&current=dumerils006.mp4

Thanks Ugo I have been after these for a while now and then 4 turn up. You have good taste in varanids but V. Flavescens are fairly hard to find (in the UK anyway) Best wishes Jay

Thank you Chance. They are 3-4 months old and will soon lose the colouring on the head which is a shame. That is why I am taking so many pictures of them while they are still young lol. I wont be going to Snake day. I appreciate the beauty of snakes but have no desire to own them. I prefer my reptiles to have a leg in each corner Merci Chance. Ils sont de 3-4 mois et sera bientôt perdre la coloration sur la tête qui est une honte. C'est pourquoi je prends tellement de photos d'eux alors qu'ils sont encore jeunes lol. Je ne vais pas aller au jour Snake. J'apprécie la beauté des serpents, mais n'ont aucun désir de les posséder. Je préfère ma reptiles d'avoir une jambe dans chaque coin
