Here is my new water monitor.

ooo s/hes cool! and looks so tiny (for the time being)! how long have you had it? i know i asked this before, i'm sorry but is it the same as an ornate water monitor? i think there are a couple kinds of water monitors aren't there?

 

[james.w]

I've only had it a week. As far as I know there is no such thing as an Ornate water monitor. There are several sub-species of the Varanus Salvator (water monitor).

ooops silly me i think i was thinking nile lol. my bad! how big is this one right now?

 

[james.w]

No problem on the mix-up. If I had to guess on size, I would say about 14" or so.

freakin' adorable! congrats

Im getting another salvator tomorrow. She is in horrendous shape. Shes between 12-15 years old and paralyzed. I will post pics of her and Baron, along with her whole backstory tomorrow night.

Oh PS James-looks like you got a nice V.S. macromaculatus there! I could be wrong, but from that pic thats what it looks like! Put that little guy under a mercury vapor bulb and his colors will get crazy! Baron is so yellow he almost looks like a melinus hahahaha

 

[james.w]

That is what he is under in that pic. Can't wait to see some pics.

Bad news, my little water passed away today. He wasn't eating well from the start so I'm not sure why.

 

[turtlepunk]

OH NO!!!!!! how awful!!!! =( always sucks to lose a pet! SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS =(

Oh I am sorry I would love a water monitor.

 

[Strange_Evil]

Man that sucks, he was really a great looking monitor. Sorry for your loss, do you plan to get another?

 

[james.w]

Thanks. Yeah I plan on getting another, I'm going to the reptile show in San Diego next month so I'm gonna try and find one that is a little older.
