Tame nile and water

lexxxx300 Sep 12, 2009 09:13 PM

I wanted to thank Robyn and Nevermind for their help when I asked about meds for my water monitor. It was eating sporatically and was getting very thin. It is now eating daily and has a fat legs and tail. It is doing great.

Next is a 8 month old normal nile. It doesn't bite but hisses a lot. After a couple of minutes she does calm down. She was a typical nile in the beginning but is coming around nicely.




Malaysian Water monitor
Too bad you don't see these too often. I wonder what happened. All you see now are Sumatrans.

Hey,

You didn't say what ended up turning them around. Did you Panacur and Flagyl them? Did some other action help?

Thanks,

Chad

Hello Lex,
Great patterns on those monitors... That is one of the bluist Egyptian niloticus I've seen. Best to you- Mike S

I believe V. s. salvator from Sri Lanka are the largest normally.
