He's at least 8' in total lenth, and has the the yellow spots on his back.
I remember you mentioning something in an earlier post, about two different types?
The morphs are just from different islands- much like the water monitor morphs. Cool lizrad though. I have a lot of respect for croc monitor keepers.

Can not wait till I have these guys in my possession
thanx,
Yes, he is gorgeous to look at, but at the same time, he is also BIG, POWERFUL, UNPREDICTABLE, and EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
Seriously...we have a pair of 4' Bluetails at work that are horrible enough, I can only imagine what dealing with that one is like.
What an animal!
I only have a tegu, but in what ways is he so dangerous? Why cant you just do feeding and watering remotely/automatically with dangerous animals?

Remotely, as in far apart, or from a distance? No, that won't work.
Thats high risk.
One day I was cutting some holes in the top of his old cage, a tool fell through the hole and landed on the top of his hide box. He got spooked and shot out of that box, like he was shot out of a cannon, bolting across a 12' cage in a second or two, and stopping on a dime before hitting the wall. That scared the living crap out of me.
I said to myself, this guy could actually get me anytime he wants, just by me not paying attention for a few seconds.
So from that day on, I completely changed the way I feed , water and maintain his encloser.
