desert monitor update

jock Dec 20, 2006 01:31 PM

These guys are doing great. They are more trusting of me now and my male will take food right out of my hand or take off my hand The male Snoopy is 28in long and my female Delilah is about 24in long.
They are eating every thing from mice to my little sister J/K but really. They also like snakes and lizards.
I built a new cage for them in late summer that is 8 x 4 x 3 it has 8 to 10in of red dirt. The dirt it is messy but they like it, and it is much easer on there nails than sand was. Well that is just an update if anyone cares. Any questions just ask.

God Bless and Marry Christmas

Nice griseus.

Do you have a pair?

Where are you ? A good friend of mine has a group of 6 here in the UK. Fascinating monitors - shame that the pics can't really pic up the pattern and colour of the animals.

What snakes and lizards do you feed?

yes I have a pair. I have had them for over a year know. I live in the US. a group of 6? are they in the same cage. if so how do the do together. I have to watch mine will they eat so they do not bite one another will they are in a food mood.
I feed them water snake, brown snakes, and ringneck snakes, and I feed them anoles that I catch around my house. I live out in the country, so don't do this unless you have lots of land.
