This photo is from the KS classifieds.. Look at the background, not the animal itself.. Sweater box croc monitors.... how sad...

Most breeding successes with croc monitors have been in a rack system.

Florida dealer???

probly feeding them dog food too >;} hahahahaha

I think I'll pass... Not to mention that the plant that the yellow prasinus are basking on is highly toxic, and has an extremely irritating sap when the leaves and branches are damaged.. Close relative to Pittospornum(sp.)

But croc monitors in 5" tall rubbermaids??? Come on, that's just cruel.

my advice if you come down here is to not go visit any importers or dealers facilities. You will not like what you see. Of course not all are this way but most are.

I feel for those poor crocs. Maybe if they are lucky they will sell fast.

Yes I saw the cage pictures of the yellow prasinus. Looks like some sort of tent or green house.

Sorry to say but what dealers have you been going too?
I personally am 100% involved in every wholesale operation own ehre in South Florida and know every single one personally. Central florida is a different story with a very bad place up there....
The guys in south florida cannot afford to lose money so why would they keep animals in bad conditions so that they can die?
Prove it with pictures....I will be glad to take you to each and every one.....
Money isnt being made with bad animals as you lose business....I apologize on behalf of all the importers if their enclosures are not naturalistic and all fancy.
To bad they rely on asthetics and ease not only to monitor the animals but to also be able to clean and feed with ease.
Really, though, all these people talk about bad importers, I know of only one or two and they are not in South Florida....
Please show them to me so I can see who I am not doing business with, as I really do not know anyon down here with the conditions you try to depict on someone.

"Quality isn't Quality without customer service so I guess I sell quality"

I am not in south florida, I would be talking about north of west palm. I assume you are talking about west palm and further south.

However there are still some not so great places in the south I have been too. Feel free to email me if you wish to talk further.

Thanks to all that are concerned about the health and safety of my animals. Obvoiusly none of you bothered to inquire about the housing of my animals, but rather with a picture decided you know how things are done here. First, I do feed rodents and insects to my animals, not dog food, Don't know exactly how that came out of a picture of a monitor in front of a rack system, Second, I do not have the need for large inside cages. Given our nice central Fl weather, I can keep animals outside most of the year getting natural sunshine.Since the weather gets down in the 40's in central Fl at night this time of year, My animals cannot stay outside year round day and night. I wish they could. At Night, and on Extremely cold days they must come inside and stay in heated racks. I feel that the animals get the perfect mix of natural sunshine and heat at night that they need to stay healthy and happy.
Rob, I did not find that female prasinus you have been asking me for for the past few months yet. I find it ironic how you are trying to get animals from me, but at the same time trashing my husbandry and animals all the while knowing nothing about me or my facility but a picture on an add and a few e-mails inquiring about my animals..
P.S. The ixora trees in My prasinus enclosure are not toxic to animals that do not eat plants. They do not break easily, and no one has shown them to be harmful in any way to reptiles that are strictly carnivorous.
Just wanted to clear up a few things.
Please, There are some of us doing a great jog supplying healthy animals to those that are looking for a geat animal, at a good price. lets all try to put the bad guys out of business together.When you see something you are not sure of, please ask instead of making assumptions, and otherwise throwing mud at someone or their business in a public forum that may be doing nothing wrong. If you are dissatisfied, well then at least you can make an educated post based on facts.
Feel free to call if there are any other concerns you wish me to clear up
Thanks

Ixora have a leaf arrangement in which leaves are located directly opposite of one another on the stem, whereas the plants in your photos' leaves are arranged in an alternate arrangement, in which the leaves are arranged in an alternating fashion along the stem.

Ixora leaves also terminate in a point, or tip, wheras the ones in the photo are more lobed, and round. The plants in the photos are far from Ixora, as they have a completely different growth habit, and leaf arrangement.

The plant/s in the photo are a representative of the family Pittosporaceae, not the family Rubiaceae, which include ixora and related genera. I have been burned/irritated by the very same species of plant while working as a horticulturist at a nursery in Tampa, FL which specialized in Palms, Bromeliads, Cycads, Staghorn Ferns, and woody ornamentals...

Thanks for the information, I unfortunately have to rely o the labels on plants when I purchase them form retailers. Since you seem to know what you are talking about, again, thanks for the information, And I will get them changed out.
