He's awesome!!! I have always wanted a mangrove. I saw babies at a recent show and we just don't have the room for another monitor. He looks great, good luck with him.

Thanks everyone! I wanted one for sooooo long!

Great! I know now that it's a male, it'll help for the name Thanks! Steeve, you can tell this by what, shape of head or tail? Unfortunatly he not tame at all, tail wip, defeccation and a bit of biting (that why the women who got him ask me to take him, they sold it to her as tame as a beardi...) but hopfully he'll only get better with time.

He was raised only on cat food and today he accept for the first time rat pinkys, I'm sooooooooooo happy.

also try fresh fish, shellfish and crabs (hermit, eating, freshwater etc) in diet, and don't worry about the salt, they blow it out their snouts!

Beautiful...
good luck, enjoy,

Thanks! I'll take good care of him.

I've tried fich (live in his water bowl and live out of the water) and shrimp without any luck so far. I'll keep trying!

Hers something aim desperately trying to show, however most cant see it, the tail base of just about all varanid are different, but you can see the deference only when viewing side by side, some species have different heads witch make them even easier to sex, in the case of all the Indicus complex, jobiensis, doreanus included the head is identical, however the tail base is deferent, in male it tapers a few inches past the cloaca, in females it doesn’t, when you’ve seen as many as I did, it becomes second nature to sex them by just looking at them, still many times I need to place them side by side to be sure, in your case you have a male, trust me it will never lay eggs. I can show you the same difference in all species at any age, however if you cant see the difference on this photo, then showing you any other photo won’t help!

Ps. Its like the difference with your PNG and Salomon Indicus, sometime even taxonomist cant tell them apart, put them side by side and wow it strikes you.
