Thanks ohbly. They go by a few different names: Yellow Ackie Monitors, Ridge-tailed Monitors and Spiny-tailed Monitors. This particular subspecies is Varanus acanthurus brachyurus.

wow VF, that certainly puts it into perspective! Wow, they looked so much bigger in the first pics!! Still though, that tank is impressive!

Is that grout over foam? if so how did you get the colour and texture to look so natural?
Thanks. Their snout to vent length is only like 6-7" at the moment so they're not as big as they look. Most of them is tail anyways.
Yep, it's a tan tile grout mixed with a bit of play sand over spray and sheet foam. When the grout was still wet I sprinkled a little more play sand on it to give it that texture.
great photo's and wonderful enclosure!!! lol, monitors always scare since I had to do a physical exam on a pair of alligator monitors before they went on exhibit at the zoo, the teeth on them was something wicked!
I appreciate the care that you obviously show for the animals in your care, so often the 'lesser' species get horrible care. Your's look great...great job

Thanks GER. They were born towards the end of June in '09 so they're almost a year old.
