Boy, you guys know how to write one hell of a story. One person makes an assumption, quickly picked up by another person and then before you know it I am an irresponsible keeper that doesn't know what he's doing. Let's back up again and reconsider the facts. Where did "Wild-caught" come from my problem? The peach-throat was a captive bred individual as was the mangrove. Both were young juveniles. I don't feel like the parameters of the enclosure were out of whack. What could have been done differently *besides* keeping the two monitors separated? Both the mangrove and the peach throat are two very similar monitors that are closely related. It's not as if I threw a savannah in with a green tree and wondered what went wrong. Plus, a 55 gallon is adequate for two very young monitors. The fact that I get on here and ask for advice and I get a pompous shoulder shrug...that's not what I was expecting from some "professionals".
