Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am finally going to get my crock monitor. I am so excited!!!! I will be prubably buying one next week on friday. Right now I have 3 leopard geckos name jeany, beauty and diamond.and one ball python named Micheal. Life is so cool when you have reptiles but they have gotten boring.Hello theres no challange LOL!I still love them with all my heart I have studied for a long time monitors and crockodile monitors are my favorite!!! they are dangerous and cool!but they are very expensive. I am buying one for750 is this a good price? Any help or tips from my fellow monitors luvers? I am going to be putting it in the bathroom. That will be funny when my friends use the bathroom and see A BIG GIANT SCARY CROCK MONITOR, LOLOLOLOLOL.I will give him a good home with alot of tlc... THANK YOU ALL VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!XOXOXOXO

is this a joke, like my post below?

i hope so.

owning leos ball pythons does not qualify you to own a croc monitor, not even with research. i will get that out right now.

crocs are not a joke. they are not something to play around with friends with. they are not for handling or playing with. they are not for personal enjoyment.

croc monitors are large and dangerous animals that probably do not need YOUR definition of TLC.

TLC for a croc monitor would include a spacious CAGE (not a bathroom used by people). This cage would include climbing abilities (from what i'm told they are highly arboreal). It would include the ability to hold humidity without being wet. Would inlcude a large water dish (yeah the bathtub could work, but seriously). I would give it dirt or a good burrowing substrate. Basking abilities, the ability to get a basking site (not a spot) up to 130ish. Then the ability to feed it without getting too involved (in other words not feeding it rats out of hand).

That is just the tip of the iceberg, no matter what you pay for your croc

DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!!!What do you know about crock monitors?????? Your not a real monitor luver. You big meanie. I have reptiles all my life and I love them. 120 degrees what you want me to put him in a sauna and cook to death your crazy

funny or tell you what to do but you do sound like you want a croc monitor so you can show it off,and show it off you would when the press got hold of the story when it bites one of your friends or you,these guys have huge teeth and from what im told can and will use them,as for the bathroom,bad idea you couldnt really provide what it needs from what andrew has said they need alot more than what will fit in a bathroom and 120 isnt all that hot for monitors,heck some go as high as 160!No offense meant but you need to do more research into the care of these guys and then ask yourself if you really can provide for it.And before you say i dont know anything ill tell yah,i really dont know because im just starting out(14 months now)Take the advise and consider another monitor

haha, hey it was all in fun. You got a couple of bites too on the post below. Im surprised you even gave me some info, you should have just sent me straight to hell.

i never said to do anything,im just pointing out what other people have had success with,we wont kill your croc,you will if you dont calm down and take heed from the people with experience(not me)when i first came here i was the same,my nile had a basking spot of 90,but i later got told to up it to about 130 which it now sits at,you know what forget it,its your monitor and i hope for our sakes that its the tamest croc in the world otherwise its more ammo for the likes of PETA and other anti-reptile people!Good luck and i hope you do listen to what the other keepers have to say
see yah

You are either joking or you are half retarded.

Either way, I am not amused.
