A few days ago I snapped some photographs of a young monitor I was sending interstate. This is three weeks' growth, photographed in the same container for scale:
Aside from the growth spurt, they really seem to colour up in those first few weeks. Check out how yellow this one turned out to be after a few weeks. The photograph doesn't really show how bright the yellow is. This photo comparison is not to scale.
A shot that shows the colour a bit better.
Interesting that you saw two Bell's phase lacies. There are only a couple of spots along the coast where Bell's phase are normally seen. What happened to the rescue, hit by a car or taken by a cat?
