Varanus keepers

[Geckos and Goannas]

Hey I just wanted to know if there is anyone else on GU that keeps varanids.

heres my list (ill post pics soon):

1.1 Varanus acanthurus brachyurus
2.2 Varanus tristis tristis
1.1 Varanus prasinus

Soon
1.1 Varanus beccari
1.1 Varanus pilbarensis
1.1 Varanus glauerti

Ps. does any one know anybody who works with alot of odatria (dwarf goannas)?

 

[qiksilver]

Anything specific about odatria? Or just in general?

 

[Mikhail F. Bagaturov]

Hi!

I kept V. bengalensis,
V. prasinus and
V. salvator in the past.
It is nearly impossible to find any dwarf species here... and for the money they're sometimes sells I better buy new used car.

 

[Geckos and Goannas]

Yeah odatria in general. or just any good varanus breeders. and I know what you mean Mikhail. some are extreemly expensive out here too. Im sure not as bad though.

 

[Geckos and Goannas]

new additions. 1.1 V. indicus

 

[zBrinks]

I had 1.2 V. timorensis for a couple years, and even saw them once or twice .

I want to find someone breeding ackies that wants to get into Uroplatus . . .

we are keeping and breeding:
varanus prasinus
varanus scalaris
varanus acanthurus
varanus tristis
And we are planning to have more little varanus

If you tell me how to put pictures with the post I will post you some.

 

[Geckos and Goannas]

If you upload your pics on photobucket you can add them by clicking the little square with the mountians in it. I know exactly what you mean with the timors! i used to have 1.1 also but never saw them so i sold them to a friend so i could expand with others.
kv78 are your tristis V. t. tristis or V. t. orientalis? I know v. t. orientalis are more common in europe. hows your success with V. prasinus? this will be my pairs first year.:? Ive never seen scalaris here in the states. are thay really that close looking to timorensis?

 

[kv78]

I hope the pictures are here...
I think its a orientalis, they are different in size.
My prasinus is pregnant, so I hope its going well.

 

[Geckos and Goannas]

i would guess that they are orientalis. very nice by the way!
