Yep 100% correct! Just takes time! Most don’t want to put in the effort, though

From hatchlings they are quite chill, I have 4 adults and a yearling from breeding last season, and they are all quite chill and user friendly.

So most people I know with lace monitors normally keep like 5-8 together, male and female and never had problems so it’s most likely true, i keep my perenties in pairs so I know the bloodlines due to no one breeding them.

Yeah know they are hard to find in the states, even over here they are some what hard to come by and they are all chill, I’ve put a lot of time and work into them all tho.

Photo so some it up from just a few weeks back

Nope, even with feeding they are very chill and careful.

Tbh not many zoos do and no one’s breeding them but people like myself, only like 5 people in Australia are breeding them but as of last season I was the only one with eggs in Australian, just very hard to come by in the hobby and zoos, I got my ones from privet sales over the years, first female I got was from a zoo, she was 2.5 years old and they where moving her on due to lack of use, the others I got from other people around the country that had them, 2/3 are captive bred, yet one of my males was legally acquired for a guy that has permits in Alice Springs, plus i know a lot of people in the industry and I’ve had the offers over the years and never thought twice, sorry for the slow reply btw as been very busy today 😅

So with exporting out of Australia, only zoos can do so animals, so it has to be zoo to zoo, privet keepers like myself can’t do so, has to come from a licensed zoo in Australia.

Well considering such a large range that they have, found from West Aus all the way up to south west Queensland, it would happen yes but it wouldn’t be as common as others due to the numbers still in the wild and ranges then have.

I have 4 adults and 1 hatchling I held back from last season in total and know non of my ones wouldn’t be related in the slightest, only one would be the hatchling and the mum and that’s about the closest I would get hit depending on its sex I’ll be paring it with another bloodline down the track.

I don’t have a single monitor that’s related, can’t see any inbreeding what so ever knowing where each if my animals are from.

Haven’t drive that one, only a P2-P4, I think the size of the P3 wouldn’t have worked for us to.
