Hi All-thanks for those replies.



What I'm trying to do is find out what monitor spec. is the best overall choice (other than Ackies) for me. I like Ackies just fine; I'm trying to broadin the dicussion.

Pro Exotics makes great claims about their Blackthroats...who wouldn't want one? I could build the enclousure as tall as 9'(3 meters Mur.) and sercure cut trees/branches in the soil for climbing. Should the soil depth still be 2'...do they dig like other monitors?

Feeding and temps seem straight forward, however, I'm wondering about the basking light. Should it be located up high over the branches or near the ground?

Also what do you consider a reasonable amount of floor space? I know the bigger the better, but I'm hoping for some figure a little more concrete?



Thanks to all for the advice.
