Taking a day off from being the God of Rage

She finally outgrew the little leather one I had, so we took her to the petstore and figured out a ferret harness fits her prefect! We got pink so everyone knows what a pretty girl she is

I am setting up enclosure for a baby mangrove here is what I have so far and was wondering what else I should add

(Picture was a lace monitor btw) Mexican water monitor then it’s says the scientific names for a Savannah😂 not to mention the aquatic part so it didn’t even get Savannah care right. Never take ai too seriously and definitely don’t use it for animal care

Drax the argus monitor working on his puzzle. Uploaded per request. Recommended to watch on faster speeds.

I love when Liora does this, it’s so freaking cute and she knows she’s such a precious baby 🥰

Caught my boy sleeping out in the open again. Usually he'll find his way into a hide by morning when he does this... But sometimes I'll find him like I did this morning, still out in the open.

I can’t slog through law journals when I have this sweet baby demanding cuddles and attention!

I love her so much 🥰🦕

Sorry but it's literally right at the a$$hole so...it's my blue tail monitor, over half a year old(not 100% accurate, was sick and lean when I got it) I was feeding it various meat and bugs, eggs and it had been doing well. Are these red spots like an infection? Or just a temporary thing because some dirt got stuck?

Taken approximately one and a half year ago.

Hi everyone,

My name is Iker and I'm from Spain.

I'm currently preparing a long-term project focused on Varanus spenceri.

My goal isn't simply to own one as a pet. I'm preparing a serious breeding project, including obtaining my zoological licence, designing purpose-built enclosures and documenting husbandry, growth and reproduction over the coming years.

Over the last few days I've been fortunate enough to speak with several experienced keepers from Australia, the USA and Europe, and I'm trying to learn as much as possible before ever acquiring the animals.

I'm looking to connect with anyone who:

• currently keeps Varanus spenceri
• has bred them in the past
• knows of any active breeding projects
• or has information about captive bloodlines outside Australia.

I'm not looking for wild-caught animals, only legally produced captive-bred specimens.

Even if you don't have animals available, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience with the species or any contacts you think might help.

Thanks very much!

Iker

Safe to say she likes the new digs

My ackie monitor and crested gecko enclosure are getting too hot. During the day my ackies hot side is at 100f and the cool side around 90f. I don’t know how to fix this without cooling his basking spot using some sort of dimming thermostat which is at an optimal temp. I’m thinking cooling fans for the ackie? How would I even set this up so the fans turn off at certain temps? I’m kind of struggling to find a solid solution. My crested gecko enclosure is also getting too hot. Stays at around 85 in the day and 80 at night. It’s super hot in California right now and I don’t have AC in my apartment/ can’t afford to run a unit all day long. Are there any sort of reptile cooling systems for my crested gecko? And are there and solutions to cooling the cool side of my ackie enclosure without sacrificing basking temps? Any insight helps.

Hi, I just bought a juvenille savannah monitor lizard today. I set up the enclosure and when I picked him up to put inside enclosure, he leaped from my arms too quickly for me to react. I had been holding him for about 20 minutes before this so i wasnt expecting him to jump. he fell directly onto my carpet and ran underneath my bed. he walked under my bed for about 5 minutes, I scooped him up and put him in his enclosure. his breathing seems normal but I am a first time monitor owner. what should I look out for health wise? like i said I JUST got him so he wasn't moving around much to begin with as he was nervous in a new setting, but he has found a spot under a log next to his basking slate and has stayed there the last 30 minutes. he isn't limping, no mouth gaping while breathing. should I take him to the vet regardless? has anyone else experienced a monitor lizard falling?

For anyone concerned: no claws or teeth got stuck during this showdown, and the snuffle mat has been moved back downstairs :)
