Pilbara Rock Monitor (
Varanus pilbarensis) available. This is the last of my Pilbara Rock Monitors: a large, beautiful spare male. Originally produced by Chris Murray. He is aprox. >5-6/yrs old. Slamming 1" dusted crickets, as well as taking frozen thawed CBB lizards and pinky mice. This is a true red
V. pilbarensis with beautiful dark red to orange contrast. Behaves just as a monitor should: quick, prey-motivated and testy. He would make an excellent breeder and those that intend to reproduce this species will be prioritized. Not many Pilbara Rock Monitors around these days - which is a shame.
This male is kept hot, with 24" of diggable sandy loam substrate, topped with leaf litter and a Retes stack. Feed frequently and he is solid as, well, a rock. He does indeed have some minor imperfections: a few tips of his digits are missing, as well as slight scarring on the eyelids, presumably due to rubbing his face on enclosure decor. Neither bother him nor will impede reproductive success. He is a very tractable lizard that will destroy food and any unfortunate soul that winds up in his enclosure. The only reason for selling is to make space for larger Varanids. I simply prefer the larger species over dwarves.
Pictures are recent and taken TODAY (9/9). I have a feeding video also filmed this evening that may be e-mailed if interested.
SOLD. anywhere in the continental USA. No trades.
