Alex.

You had asked for some cage pics & BRN pics. Hope you like these. I took them this weekend. Sorry for any poor quality pics. The batteries in the camera were going dead & I was trying to get these before it died.

Hey Alex.

They are WC unfortunately so I really have no idea of their age. I believe it was late Sept of last year that I got them. There were numerous problems too. Resp infection, worms, malnourished, stressed, you name it.

They turned around nicely though and have become one of my all time favorite monitors hands down.

Thanks!

Gene

thats cool how do you get rid of of respitory infection and worms with out going to the vet or do you have to go. it's just so exencive you know.

The Vet is a must for me. I have spent 2 or 3 times what they cost me just in vet bills alone.

There is no way I would even pretend to have known enough to fix the problems they had. I had to give them injections of Baytril, force feed, and numerous other things only the vet could have shown me.

I have even had to inject panacur in some of their food to worm them. My vet & I have learned a lot from each other. Well worth the money spent.

nice pics Gene, they're growing nicely. maybe if i come over again, ill bring my monitors or something my Nile is growing like crazy and the water is looking really good. both shedding about every 2weeks.
