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.

Mr Williams,
Posting abusive comments won't serve you well here.
Sorry you didn't get a response within the 6 hrs you waited...perhaps those that viewed your threads didn't feel the subject merited discussion.

Yep, question doesn't warrant a response, especially with that attitude. This isn't Facebook; we expect a bit more professionalism and maturity on this forum.
Considering you posted in the dead of night, did you honestly expect a response in a few hours?

Maybe because there really is no need, other than curiosity? Both species get to be quite large and have a decently limited captive population. Why muddy the genetic waters through hybridization? To quote Malcolm in the original Jurassic Park, "we were so busy thinking we could do something that we didn't stop to think if we should."

Hello yes your probably right but it would be an amazing animal the aggression of a nile monitor combined with the size of a croc an those serrated Teeth the adult length would probably top out somewhere around 10FT the hatchlings" would be cheaper then buying a varanus salvadorii hatchling for 1000,00 t0 1500,00 the prices are just ridiculous on those i am honestly surprised this has not been done givin the high prices are on Crocodile monitors in general

Your thoughts are a bit flawed - 1) crocodile monitors also tend to be aggressive... and large aggressive animals with long sharp teeth don't always make good pets; and 2) the hybrids would be even more rare; so the prices would be higher (at least if there was even a small amt of interest in them).
I'm not a big proponent of making hybrids - occasionally, though, they ARE visually appealing. In this case, I'm not sure that the cross would be desirable; and, appreciating monitors as I do, I'd rather see bring efforts kept pure
