Thanks for the offer Marc but I've currently got a male (stunning markings I bought from Matt Bonnett) that is also showing great interest. I've separated them, feeding her up and will introduce him in a coupla weeks to see how she goes. She just lost a lot of weight with the first clutch that she needs to re-coup.

Ohoohohh, ME, ME, I like mertens too, can I have a gander at the piccies?? 
Damn guys, those are some mighty fine animals! They have to be my all time favourite animals, however I was put off getting some as I have no idea when it comes to water filters and all that jazz. If anyone would care to share what they use for their mertens (inside setup), that would be great...(hint, hint)

just a quiuck queston simon,
what do you have on the bottom of the enclosure for a floor?
outdoors a wire mesh covered would be fine but indoors that could be messy!
thanks,

RE: monitors
Ether,
Monitors these size will eat large mice, rats, quail, chickens, rabbits, birds, eggs, chicken necks, roo meat, etc.
Bombie,
Under the sand, there is just the bare concrete floor of the garage. There is no problem with faeces because mostly the sand soaks up that and the urates. Also, the actual pits are so light that they can be moved by 2 people. I plan to do full cleanouts relatively regularly...all I'll need to do is carry the pits out, shovel the sand (sweeping out excess) and use the high-pressure hose to clean up anything but only if necessary.
