Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Monitor ID please!
Anyone able to identify this monitor?
Morph?
Flash photo only?
After a couple of guesses (since I don't want to taint opinions) I will post what it was being sold as.
Thank you in advance.

I will at least mention that this was being listed at over $15k if that helps at all?

It looks like an albino water monitor, but I'm not an expert, I also do not know whether or not they are worth $15k.

Thanks Elena - that is what it was being sold as T-Albino Water Monitor.
This additional picture is from NERD ( link) for comparison.

Maybe the poster meant T+? I'm not familiar with monitor morphs either, so not sure if T+ water monitors are known to exist or what their value would be. Just looks more T+ than negative, if it's not just a poor quality photo with too much flash.

T+ water monitors do exist.
The NERD photo shows a recently hatched T- water monitor, pink with yellow spots. As they become older they are more of a yellow/tan color.
That being said, the seller's photo is so bad that I can't tell if it is T- or T+. That's why I simply said "albino water monitor." Maybe someone more experienced can weigh in.
What baffles me is why someone selling an animal for 15K can't bother to photograph it properly. If they were able to buy such an expensive animal, surely they can afford a decent camera, and if they expect to get that much for it, surely they can take the time to get a good photo, try it with and without flash, maybe use some lighting to show the animals true colors. I sold a normal baby KSB this year, for $50, and he was photographed with a professional-quality camera, with lighting, on a background. And he looked great.

T+ might be the case. I haven't gone too deep yet, but if it is a T+ vs. a T- that could mean the difference of a $22k(T-) vs. $4k(T+) animal from what I've briefly seen. Bad picture, too much flash. On purpose? I don't put it past people. Buy a T+ and try to pass it off as a T-?
Thank you both for your thoughts thus far.
