That's so cool. I wasn't even aware of the Rusty Dessert Monitors existence until last week. I don't know how it escaped me. Great video and excellent choices

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Thanks mate! Yeah they are cool little desert species 🤙🏼

[@varanaut1308]

Closest the US can get to scalaris is similis. They are very similar but entirely black and white. Super pretty.

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Great lizards 🦎

[@HKH_Oficial]

Scalaris and tristis have to be my favourites with kimbos and pilbs coming next, I also like Mitchelli and semiremex

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Some solid choices in there!

[@Kaigoold]

I'd definitely say mine is: 1. Panoptes 2. Eremius 3. Glebopalma 4. Perentie 5. Both Southern and Northern Pilbara Rock Monitors (couldn't pick a favourite, lol)

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Panoptes are dope. That’s a solid list!

[@richardbroadhead822]

Awesome list !! 👌 I'm in canada and have a kimberley rock monitor, arguably my favorite reptile I keep!!

[@winterblooded1345]

Mine would have to be the Pilbara rock monitor , great video

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Very nice choice 👍🏻

[@Chadsadventures73]

Great video mate

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Thanks Chad!

[@ianparkinson7039]

Nice choices Luke I personally like & let the the Kimbos, stunning. Definitely though bells phase Lacey & the rusty desert monitor on my wish list. Sorry I haven’t tuned in for a while had some shit going on. Cheers mate

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

All good mate! I’ve been in the same boat recently. Hence the lack of uploads. Hope everything is alright now mate or at least on the mend.

[@littletonoskill7550]

All very solid choices mate, another great video as always Edit: tristis are definitely my fav but mitchelli are a close second, hope when I move to Australia eventually that I'll be able to own them.

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

They are pretty common in the hobby here so now you’ll be able to!

[@simonbeggswoodturning7822]

1. flying sand monitors 2. swimming sand monitors So basically anything you can catch, haha

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Hahahahahahah! That comment wins!

[@jgjulander]

I think I would have to go with 5. Kim rocks, 4. glebos, 3. Spencer's, 2. Pilbara rock monitor, 1. perentie. That said, it is very difficult to rate such a cool group of lizards. I have only seen 14 Australian species in the wild, so I am just under half way to seeing them all. Hopefully I'll be able to tick another 2-3 this fall.

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

That’s a solid list! Yeah it really is hard. They all have their merits. Oh nice! Where are you off to?

[@jgjulander]

@@BeachesScalyBeasts NT (Kakadu) and WA (East Kimberley). Hoping to add at least glebo and glauerti, at least those will be a focus to find and photograph.

[@robertzuzaniak7082]

I’ve seen a bell’s phase lace monitor in the wild before

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Awesome stuff mate!

[@robertzuzaniak7082]

Thank you they are a great looking species.😊

[@geronimo1739]

I agree!!! i lovveee glebopalma!!! Stunning monitors - but semiremex will always be my favourite

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

They are a mad species too!

[@sdqsdq6274]

i myself look for features of the monitor / different face then color second

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Fair enough :)

[@melaniehill7253]

When you make stuff out of tile pointing do you have to hose it off after it drys or can you put it straight into a tank

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

It depends really. I don’t usually hose it off however when I built my frog tank I gave it a thorough hose down to be sure there wasn’t any residue at all for her highly permeable skin.

[@user-gh8uv8br6l]

Do you know anything about emerald swift lizard I have one It's 5month old now I got it at a month old.i just like to talk to someone it's hard to find anyone who has 1

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Hi mate, I don’t sorry. Your mention of it is the first I’ve known about them.

[@Floriflop]

I have to choose between Kimberleys and Ackies, what would you get if its your only monitor?

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Personally I’d get a Kimberley after owning both. That’s just me though.

[@Floriflop]

@@BeachesScalyBeasts I was also more intrested in Glauerti´s but someone told me, they are hiding lot of the time and ackies are more outside, can you confirm this?

[@cheoleom4620]

Hello, I am breeding pygmy monitors in Korea. Can you tell me the temperature and humidity of the kennel My monitor hides in a tree and doesn't come out all day. What's wrong with that?

[@cheoleom4620]

It's been 10 days since I brought the monitor home

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

If it’s new it’ll hide for a while. It’s only trying to adjust to a new environment. I don’t really monitor humidity but my basking spot temperature’s are usually 50c roughly with plenty of areas for them to escape the heat.

[@cheoleom4620]

@@BeachesScalyBeasts Thank you. My current kennel is exo terra 90cm/45cm/45cm, but after seeing your recent video, I decided to change to a higher breeding ground. Thank you so much. There is no one in Korea who grows pygmy monitors..😂

[@cheoleom4620]

@@BeachesScalyBeasts Is Exotera 904590 okay? I'm worried that the temperature won't be maintained
