Hi all,
If you could choose what you wanted to see written in a book on monitor lizards what would it be? Please list your top 5 priorities, 1-low, 5 being high....
Many Thanks,

Hey mbayless,
Are you talking about husbandry methods or different monitors? I might be missing something but I am not quite sure what you mean...?

I'd like to see a book with a complete listing and description (with colour photographs, of course) of all currently known monitors. There have been quite a few new species popping up in the past few years, so most books are out of date in that regard.

4) Species accounts/ranges, habitats etc.
3) Good photos
2) Up to date husbandry care including diet in captivity.
1) Tips for building decent enclosures at home
5) I would like to see a book with more then a paragraph on each type of Indonesian monitor (some of us like them!) I know Afican and Australian are the most popular but a little more info would be great.

To add to my number 4 spot. A book that has behavioral info wood be great. like how territorial they are with their own species and others. Sparing during mating etc.
Oh how are their numbers in the wild. Conflict with humans (habit destruction, commercialization). I have to many ideas........ sorry

Id say a section that extremely discriptively speaks our the substrate, an on going debate or worry, as well as the perfect diet you can offer.

Mark, there isn't enough captive husbandry info. that would definatly be a bonus. I really like T&J b's about enclosure construction. If you could use any photographs, I can try and get a digital camera and take some photos of my larger animals for you to use. cheers

I have to say that there is a lack of information regarding certain species. Peachthroats and Bluetails as well as Mangroves. In fact that whole complex of monitors would be a good subject for a book.
More info. regarding Indo. Malys. monitors
