His huge water monitor and it's girls?Any old forum dwellers remember Chris?Any idea where he went?

I don't know where he is or what he is up to. Last I heard he kept the big boy but was selling the girls. I think he wanted to move on to other things.

How's it going with you?

I remember he built a room on a house for the waters.I think the male was missing part of the tongue.He seemed like he went the extra mile for monitorsI could never afford to build an addition to my house for monitors

yeah chris, built a room in a shed in his yard. he bred mice in there and kept his birds in the shed as well. i went out there once. he said he was selling the females that was over a year ago.

Yeah Brian, we live in Oregon. Chris lives a couple hours away, it was a fun visit. It is just a shed/out building. I learned a lot, like cool ways to breed mice. He had a 4x4 hard plastic container that he kept a couple hundred heavy female mice in and he just pulled out pregnant females every couple days and put them in smaller containers, he produced a lot of mice that way. He said he fed the monitors mice, and stuff he shot in his yard like crows, etc. I only saw the male because the females were "down under"

I imagine that one could do all of that for around $5000 with some own leg work. The outbuilding wasn't that big, maybe 30x15, and a small portion of that was the cage.
