hi..

I hava one sav and one BT monitors... and want to buld a big enclosure for them.. but I was wondering if I could keep them thogether in the same cage...??

what you guys think about it..??

thanks

Rick

Question...
The answer is still the same, if you want a live healthy bosc monitor, then NO, why would you want to?
If you cannot properly provide for both separately then give one or both up.
But they are yours to do as you please, so by all means do so as you wish, your BT will be happy, and full.

I ask this because I have seen BT housed in grups... and as they almost need the same housing... I thougth they coul be together in a single big enclosure...

but thanks for your post

Rick

Yes, you have seen BLACKTHROATS together, but not BT'S and SAVS together. The blackthroat will eventually outgrow the Sav and most likely eat it.

ok..

I see your points and thinking about it.. you´re rigth...
about the BT in groups, I mean some pics I saw from ProExotics enclosures... not pet stores...

any ways thanks for your posts

Rick

"I have seen BT housed in grups", now, nowhere have you seen bosc and albigs housed in groups sucessfully.
Also by what you said I hope your not referring to seeing them in petstores or at reptile shows, thats not proper housing, thats just jamming a bunch of cheap monitors together to maximize space and lower overhead.
I hope this clarified the confusion.
Even if you have a pair or trio of the same species, you need to have proper separate cages just in case they decide not to get along at any time.

I am so tired of you self appointed ex-spurts being so condescending .this forum is to provide a place to share info
and to feel free to ask questions without being talked down to
the only stupid question is the one you don't ask !!I'm quite sure you learned from someone else are were you born with infinite knowledge

Offensive posted.
The response was a plain simple answer to which the poster got offended as it wasnt what they wanted to get as a response.
If you feel what I posted was talking down to anyone then you need help.
No one has claimed to be any expert, we are just keepers the experts are the monitors we learn from. If you dont like it dont read it, its a free country and a free public forum. They came here for either help, or for a pat on the back for someone to say to them "ya, sure its fine, go ahead , do it", but none the less the truth was given to them.

all you said is rite but you could say it in a less offensive manner if you piss someone off do you really think they are going to listen to you? you catch more flies with honey. I am not trying to upset you just hoping you mite see the way you are coming across to ather readers. you have a lot of good advice to give and it would be a shame for it to to waist because you make the asker feel stupid. I have read about 80% of the reptile post on this forum and I see others get there point across with out belittling the asker. I have 37year working with reptiles of all kinds and I can tell the ones that know what they are talking about and you ser. do have a lot to offer the readers of this forum just try to talk to them the way you your self would wont to be talk too. thanks

ps.GOOD LUCK WITH ALL YOU DO.

Still nothing offensive, just straight to the point truth. I dont or shouldnt have to kiss up to anyone to give them advice, Im offering, they are asking, if they do not like it, then they can try for themselves and find out the hard way.
Just because it was not the answer they wanted, or they did not get a "that-a-boy" to make them feel better, it does not make what I posted offensive. I cannot figure out why some people, mainly kids and teenagers think that so much advice they get is belittling, insulting, or full of attitude. After this long of helping others I believe its the fact that the advice or the truth was not what they wanted to hear.
Maybe all the texting, pming, Iming, and slang out now they dont know the difference between normal English and insults.
Thats bad, Im looking at so many others as so much younger now, I must be getting older. oops tomorrow is my birthday, lol.
