Thanks everyone for your kind words. I house a pair Varanus prasinus in that enclosure. They love all of the room . the enclosure is 7'6" tall 6' long and 3' deep. plenty of hides for them everywhere and plenty of room to climb.

Hey Jack, is that you?

Very nice looking enclosure. You must have spent a small fortune on cork.

So do they eat the hissing roaches?

Cheers,
Neal

Hey Neal, it is me, Cork was pretty expensive I probably spent about $400 just on cork alone but the V prasinus love it. Unfortantely so do the roaches I got from you, too many places to hide. At the rate i'm losing them in the cork i'm going to have to place another order with you here pretty soon. How are the Storri eggs coming along?

Hi Jack, have you tried offering the roaches in a bowl that they can't get out of? Will your V. prasinus feed from tongs? While I am more than happy to sell more roaches, I might suggest that you try to get them eating f/t fuzzie mice in addition to the roaches.

I lost a few eggs, but I have three from that clutch that are looking still good. I dug up another clutch from my other female last weekend, so that gives me some more to play with.

Cheers,
Neal

Is all that cork carved, or did you peice bits together? Simply amazing and stunning. You might just have the luckiest captive monitors on the planet ! Wow!
