Someone asked me this because he was told ackies who’d be easier to breed then Jobiensis, nonsense! The only reason they may in fact be easier to breed is there smaller size, provided you give jobies similar size body to cage ratio, and you start with cb babies, you will have equal chance with both species.
But if you get WC then you can expect a long wait before they settle in and do what varanids do! Honestly if your patient it doesn’t matter what size, age, fresh or long term imports, makes no difference sooner or latter with good husbandry Varanids breed.
I laugh when aim told take the easy way start with CB! Yes I laugh not because it’s not good, in fact it much better then WC, but not mandatory.
To me the easy way simply means to learn as much as you can before obtaining any varanids, the when you know enough to say aim going to breed varanids, then it doesn’t make a difference in the world what you obtain, because you know there husbandry.
Simple if you like small lizard like varanids that take little room, then go for it, me I don’t like small varanids except arboreal, my ideal varanids size wise is Jobiensis, it’s a mini raptor that has all the right moves a varanids shod have and knock out colors.
I who’d never ever consider exchanging my nicest jobies for any Australian varanids, not even for Varius. But that’s me! Others will prefer the cut little guys and that’s really what’s important get what you like, not what your told you can breed easier.
Step back and think about the origin of all CB varanids, Ackies, Gluerty, lace, jobies, Doreanus, rudies, komodo and most of all cb varanids, they all come from old WC imports, many tot to be in post reproductive condition, so I say it clear! If you have an old varanids! And think of selling it to start the (easy way) well think again as you may have a chance to produce new blood with your old stock.
I hade to say this, looks like a lot of peoples are thinking this way.
