    My favorite lizards are the dwarf species monitors ,any new information is always welcome ,I have had Timors, Freckled,Green Tree ,Yellow , Kimberly. etc. currently have a new hatchling from a breeder in San Pedro California, a Kimberly Rock Monitor (my favorite) its true that American breeders have raised dwarf monitor breeding to a whole new level and have been very successful thus far. thank you for your informative video . Cheers from Southern California.!

    What a stunning little devil. I love big monitors, but something about dwarf monitors just pulls me in. I think it's their unique personality. They aren't like any other lizard I can think of. Most dwarf animals are unique, but not like dwarf monitors. Great video 👍👍

    Great vid, always enjoy seeing your setup for keeping herps. My youngest lad has his heart set on a pair of monitors, but despite suggesting a number of potential options including the primordius he is dead set on Brevicaidas. The only problem is they seem to be a bit like chooks teeth.

      more like Unicorns tears, depending on the state they may have higher licence requirements too

    Awesome video Peter! Absolute coincidence as I was watching your much older video on your dwarf monitors earlier today just to get another glimpse of the primordius, its as if you knew.
    I know you keep these guys in pairs, is that species preference or for breeding purposes for yourself (or perhaps both)? Just wondering how they are in groups, do they fare as well as their larger acanthurus cousins?
