Its not going to work, but you must find that out yourself. (except niles)

All the species you picked are tropical, and being cold blooded, which is different from birds, makes your building and location, more or less non workable.

Non workable means, you will have various degrees of success and failure. Ending up in a ton of work with little to show for it.

I would think you would already understand that people have tried your approach before. MANY TIMES. You know, I have buildings designed for other things and want monitors to fit those buildings.

What you seem to fail to understand is, monitors are easy to breed in captivity, VERY EASY. Its supporting the conditions on a continious basis that causes the problems.

So again I recomend starting small, and working from there.

I think what your missing is, varanids the come from tropical(consistant temps) parts of the work, never had to develop the ability to understand cold. They without question understand how to make choices based on heat. But cold and colder, seems to be necessary in their lifes.

Then consider, where I am IS A MILLION TIMES WARMER then Kansas. Its too cold here.

From your answers, you appear to be a kid living at a nice farming area. You know, 100,000 sf, money is not needed(#1) choice of species, Etc. In reality, if that was your facility, and it was you that actually worked the raptors, you would not have to ask the questions your asking. So yes, start small, and go for it. After all, thats how anyone would start, young and old.

I have always said, the key to keeping and breeding monitors is based on the keepers ability to make timely decisions. So go for it. Cheers
