The Yellow Ackies link was selling an adult pair for US$700 ... That is around AU$950.

So Baritji, do you know of good photos on the net of Baritji's? If the Herpetafauna article you co authored is anything to go by these would make excellent captives.

Hey,
yeah they are cool animals to keep, thats for sure. There is a nice pic of one of my males in my gallery on this site, but I cant seem to get the gallery's to work!

I will ask the guys at TWP for ya bry, they are pretty well connected and might be able to get a good price!

 

[Bryony]

oh that would be excellento!!!!!
i'm really keen to get 1....or mayby a pair.......
i have started making room for them and i'm all excited about them!!!

If you wait until hatching starts theres going to be alot around, i wouldn't be surprised if they were $200 or less this season, they wouldn't be the nicest ackies though.
Normal ackies are just pale brown color with not much pattern, some people sell these as yellows which they are not.

Speaking of ackies, has anyone kept Merten's Water monitors? (sorry to hijack your post) I'd be fasinated to learn about their husbandry.
