maybe it is wise to use the Latin name next time in your correspondention. Using 'normal' names will most of the time led to misunderstandings.

Love these discussions, so much to learn.  Whatever has been bought it is gorgeous, just wish that I had much more room - and money  to branch ( sorry about that.... ) out into Monitors, they are fantastic reps. Enjoy your new pet.

From the species description on Berndts site http://www.monitorlizards.de/ I would say its timorensis.
V.timorensis cream ocelli and some speckles on the ventral surface.
V. auffenbergi blue/grey ocelli and plain cream ventral surface.
Cheers

Hi.
I keep Auffenbergi. It doesn't look like mine. I'd also say Timorensis. |
