The vast majority of reptile "enthusiasts" are completely unable to take constructive criticisms objectively. Instead, they tend to take it like a child would, and fire back with utter nonsense. It's as if these types refuse to step out of this normative comfort zone of horrible reptile keeping, and when that reaction is couple with feelings of responsibility... lol Whoa. This sort of human behavior is actually very interesting to me, but because I am passionate about varanids, it just pisses me off to no end... And that is precisely the reason why I no longer comment on the torturous captive settings in which so many people keep their herps. If I had commented on every detestable YouTube vid exhibiting said conditions, I'd certainly have had a stroke by now.

Before you reply, I want you to know that I am NOT saying you are one of these people, nor am I trying to insult you. I'm just saying why I (and I'm sure many others) ignored your thread when I first saw it. And if you need to know, that enclosure is probably insufficient. I'm really sorry that you're extremely proud of it and all, but it is what it is. The first thing I noticed is that it can't even house the necessary depth of substrate, thus, right off the bat, it is a bad cage... I think maybe you should do some more research, but mostly think more about your lizard than you and your lizard's relationship.

This is more or less the thing; No one cares about your cage -- we only care about what your lizard is able to do with the cage.
