Sav Monitor

ztous Jul 20, 2006 04:57 PM

I just bought my first monitor today and my only problem for his enclosure remains the humidity. Should I mist it daily or is it good for him to just have his water dish to soak in. Also he is about 4-5" long so how old do you guys think he is. He eats like an animal and I really like the little guy.

You should give him both a waterbowl to soak himself in and a daily mist.

I don't think there is a way to tell how old he is by size, read a few posts down...someone asked the same question...if hes that small, hes probably young. Other than that, your guess is as good as anyone else's.
Keep liking him! You'll have him for a long time if you take care of him.
