Hey guys and girls. I have recently joined the forum but havent had time to introduce myself. My name is Johnny, I live in Brisbane, Australia. I have been keeping reptiles of all persuasions since 1996 but over the last few years have gotten a bit bored of snakes. So over the last few seasons i have been focusing on bluey morphs. My current bluey collection consists of albino easterns, het for albino easterns, hyper (black) easterns, het for hyper easterns, QLD easterns, VIC easterns, a bunch of locality unknown easterns, het for axantic easterns and Reduced Patterned easterns. Also have WHITE phase northerns. All up i have about 25 blueys so far. I also keep a few species of large monitors (Laceys, Spencers and Sandies. With Perenties to come shortly) This season i will be looking to add some Kimberley northerns, WA westerns and NSW blotchies. I will endeavour to add some pics when im back home (i work away in the mines) Cheers and i hope i have posted this thread in the right place. If not then i apologise in advance.

Thanks. i will be back home in 2 weeks so will get heaps of pics then. Everyone is just coming out of brumation so could get lucky and get some mating pics. Btw. Im jealous of youse being able to keep IJ's and Meraukes. And some of those northerns over your way are STUNNING

Hey MiMi. Being a chef is not all its cracked up to be. 2 more years and im out. @Jeff, thanks for the welcome. hopefully i can learn some things here and hopefully also pass on some of my experiences. @xxmonitorlizardxx, i wwould love to keep some of the OS monitor species but have to be content with our aussie natives. I currently have 2 adult pairs of lacies- 1pr South East QLD (Gold Coast) locale and also an adult pair of NSW Central Coast 'lemon yellows'. I will be breeding the SEQ ones this season but unfortunately the 'lemon yellow' female injured her mouth a few months ago and needed to go on antibiotics. so due to her compromised immune system i didnt want to risk brumating her and kept 24hr heat on her through winter. I would rather wait till next season.

So my bluey breeding season didnt go too well this year but my laceys are killing it. Got 3 clutches (2 bells and 1 gold coast locale) cooking and the boys are still trying to make sexy time with my girls, so fingers crossed for some double clutches from the ladies. BTW if anyone has been following my bluey breeding attempts then im gutted to say that my 66% poss het albino male bluey didnt prove out and now i have 20 odd baby 50% poss albino het blueys. Ah well.
