xruthlessx76 Dec 22, 2003 02:26 PM

when i bought a powersun uv bulb a few months back i was amazed by a picture on the side of the box that looked like a hatchling monitor with a bright orange head... just noticed them on PE's site and i'm really interested in them, but i haven't found a care sheet specifically for them. does anyone have one? i would guess their care requirements would be fairly similar to my arg. b&w tegu Homie, really not sure. thanks

Hi,
Although the temperature does not need to be too high, the humidity for them should be; feed them shellfish and occassional rodent; I have an article coming out in March 2004 issue Reptiles magazine - will probably be out in late january or so...
The orange head color darkens after 3-6 weeks or so. good luck
