This sound like a lot of money but its not, in fact its half the price of any Asian monitor imports. Theirs no reason any wild monitors should be sold at ridiculous low prices, these are CITES animals and deserve to be treated as such. Dealers selling them cheep know what they are doing, they are targeting the mass, impulse buyers who will obtain the entire kit, the problem is these kits aren’t meant to be successful, if they where wed all be flooded with monitors.
In reality these cheep imports are exactly what turtles use to be, you buy one it dies, dispose of your cage, heat rock, bulbs and all, then some time later you see an other cute baby and start all over again.
This rings a bell? Of course as it’s the way these animals are marketed, they will keep being abused this way until we do something about it.

Just my opinion feel free to prove me wrong.


Bravo to Pro-Exotic…

For there leadership and hard work, they do not and will not abuse cheep imports.
