I don't think anyone in the states is working with them. Go to varanus.nl, you can get better info there. I know there are a few guys in Australia that breed them, but I don't think exporting is legal.

I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to, but this is the only place I've seen them for sale, very expensive because no one really has them in the states yet.

Armando - He's talking about Varanus varius aka Lace monitor from Australia NOT Varanus salvator from Asia /Indonesia.

This is Varanus varius


The only person I know of in the US who was breeding them was Frank Retes in Arizona but I don't think he's produced a clutch in years. So as of now no one in the US is truly breeding them although there are animals here.

The trade lines from Australia have been closed some 20 years I believe and are in no way being opened any time soon. Zoos can get animals but the time and red tape to actually get them is very lengthy and very costly so Zoos aren't attempting to bring them in.

The few animals I've seen for sale in the US are pricey.

The only forum I know Frank Retes visits anymore is the Kingsnake.com monitor forum so maybe look him up on there and see what his status is. It's been years since I was on that forum so I cannot give an accurate answer.

Good luck.
