    Ornate monitor or Nile monitor?

    Had to look it up. This is an ornate monitor. A Nile monitor has more rows of spots across its back.

    That was what I was thinking -- I just had a hard time counting the rows!

    Hm, apparently a similar one at RW6 was ID'd as a Nile monitor: ACP0003gv5

    What do you think?

    Yes, I was thinking about that one... I think that is probably an ornate monitor, also.
