I grew up with Scott Selstad in Agoura or attempted to grow up! LOL I wired in one cage after viewing your cages at the Florida show.

I have a pair of Aplomados and they are from Peru and the one laying down is a Tiercel (Male for the viewers)


>I am still confused with your first post, why do you mention 100,000 sf to be used for >getting into monitors in a big way. If thats what your going to do, "forget about it"
My original idea was to offer HOT HOT HOT basking areas and burrows letting the animal choose but I understand the concept of forget what I know about racers as it will confuse me. My tropical Cribo’s (racers) choose heat and are allowed to thermal regulate. It was 55F last night and they chose to stay inside. The foam plug is my doggie door keeping weather outside while allowing the snakes to choose. I understand that Varanids are Varanids and just like raising falcons and snakes it will be a completely different discipline.

I already knew and understood the concept of (keep um hot and feed um a lot). I also understand most of the basics but you answered what I wanted and needed to know and that was if they would “choose” heat if given a cold hot option I assume the answer in their case is a resounding no except for Nile monitor.

The chambers are waterproofed with spray on foam insulation that can be coated with “polygem epoxy”

Thank you for the dialog.
