There is some really exciting stuff being done by Scott Trageser and his team that is really close to my heart.

It has always been a dilemma when describing new species, having to euthanize and preserve specimens for science. This new technology will give future researchers another choice.

The project Is only in the first stages and is in need of funding, this will help it move onto stage 2 where it will become available for everybody to use.

No pressure if you don't want to donate but would really appreciate it if you could help by giving this a share to help move the project forward.

Conservationist and photographer Scott Trageser is using Sony RX0 II cameras and photogrammetry to create detailed 3D scans of wildlife.

One of freshly hatched Black tree monitors Varanus beccarii, this species has been close to being lost within the hobby especially in the UK, once considered the cheap "ugly" tree monitor most keepers decided to put there efforts into breeding the brightly coloured Varanus prasinus. Although not as brightly coloured as some of the other tree monitors, beccarii are stunning in there own right and can only truly be appreciated in person.

20/09/2022

A first for us here we have been luckey enough to hatch 2 Black tree monitors Varanus beccarii , this brings us to 3 species of tree monitors we have managed to breed.

Both of our black and Yellow tree monitors (Varanus beccarii and Varanus reisingeri) are cycling right on schedule, these species can be like clockwork once dialed in.

Next clutch for us is our Black tree monitors Varanus beccarii hopefully our good luck this year continues !

31/03/2022

Our varanus reisingeri looking happy together, glad to see our female has accepted the male back with her after laying a clutch, female tree monitors can get very aggressive nest guarding after laying, we always take the male out long before the female lays to stop any complications.

First clutch of the year, small 2 egg clutch from our V reisingeri.

Trying to recreate the same picture a year on with our Holdback V.resingeri turns out its alot harder when they have grown up.

02/02/2022

Good to see our reisingeri have excepted the new facility and each other after a year of no activity. Best thing to catch on the viv cctv.

26/01/2022

Hopefully a good start to the year, Our female Varanus reisingeri took a year off after we moved her to a new vivarium and introduced a diffrent male. Fingers crossed for some good eggs.
