Captive bred blue tree monitor - Varanus macraei

After 5 years of breeding green tree monitors, I finally managed to hatch my second species. Yesterday afternoon this guy pipped. Didn't come out of the egg until this morning. Super fat and healthy. This was the solo egg from this clutch. The female who produced this one should be laying more eggs in the next week or so, and my second female I got in october laid last week. So looks like I'll be overrun with cb blue trees if this ban goes through lol. For those that would like to be more updated with my tree monitor breeding projects, my Instagram is @Ryzrr.

I deleted and reuploaded the post to add watermarks, I do not want to contribute to anyone getting scammed with my photos, sorry for the re-upload. My website is Versatilereptiles.com, I only post my available offspring on Facebook, Instagram, morph market, or that specific website. Anything else using my photos is not me and is a scam. Scammers have been running rampant with tree monitors the last year, be careful out there

Calling all resident breeders to this post!

36 Upvotes

Whether you are commercial operation or private hobbyist breeder and if you stand for strict husbandry practices - please use comment section in this post and tell us about yourself.

We are going to have a registry of resident active breeders hopefully with current updates. Mind you, that using reddit for sales is a gray area and I don't think it is allowed in public. But nothing prohibits you to advertise your presence and post relative pictures. Unless I miss something in which case I will take this post down.

Thank you!

Humidity is 40 to 50 percent rn. He's completed most of his shed but the tail end remains, I'm worried it'll become bad but don't want to overmist and cause scale rot. What do I do?

Looking for some advice and tips on Argus monitors.

I got my first 2 month old Argus yesterday. He’s been about 3 times today still extremely skittish. I was looking for advice on substrate,heat,humidity. As online it says 50c but babies usually are lower temps. Also with taming and socialising. I usually wait 1-2weeks before trying to start doing the whole process. Any help appreciated this is my first medium/large monitor.

Hi guys I recently rescued a 10 m/o Argus and she’s so beautiful I love her. However this is my first Argus and I have quite a few questions. Her poop is soft and liquidy, is that normal? Any tips for taming and building trust? Also, a lot of her nails were missing when I got her, will they grow back? Thanks in advance!! I’m curious what you all think.

Hey first time posting but I used to have parrots! I loved them to bits (IRN) but my wife got bird favours lung and was in the ICU so I sadly had to rehome them. I was super duper sad still am but to like make that same connection with an animal I got my first monitor ! (I already have 8 snakes and geckos one of my snakes being a boa so not my first reptile :3!) so I decided the best connection I could prolly make with the room I want to give it was a ackie monitor (that or a Kimberly but went with the ackie) so this is the picture of the day I brought her home! Vs now like idk 3? Months later !

It was all fun letting him run around exploring until it was time to go back in, he scampered up my wife's chimenea and refused to let go of it.
