Posted by: zooanderson at Tue Jun 7 20:28:04 2011 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by zooanderson ] Correct me if I’m wrong but I read the question "how they respond to captivity?" as asking if they do better or worse than they would in the wild (when kept under optimal conditions). I see it as a good question; some animals do much better in captivity then in the wild due to not having the dangers of disease (using Vets) and predators. Some animals on the other hand no matter how well they are kept have a shortened life span in captivity due to the stress of being in a smaller habitat or not getting the same foods as they would in the wild or what not. In this case Again correct me if I’m wrong most monitors have a captive life span that is on level with if not longer than it would be for an animal in the wild (again under correct conditions, I know that a lot of this lizards don’t survive the first year but those are not the correct conditions to support life). | ||
