Hi Brian, i could not resist and yesterday i bought the monkey tail.They have been in that petshop for 2 months and i couldnt decide to buy it and now i think it was one of my best choices!
Right now, while im writing this message, the little guy is around my neck, very calm and sweet.Yesterday, he tried to bite me when we arrived from the petshop (he was nervous, etc...)but it wasnt really a wild bite he just wanted to show me he was brave!lol! Then he ate lots of greens and slept on my Harry Potter book!Im completely in love with him because i think i finally found a reptile that can live indoors without problems!He is the correct size, not too small like tribs not too big like iguanas, he is not timid as BTS and doesnt want to hide under the couch 24 hours a day!Today he spent the whole morning on the back of my the chair while i was reading then he wandered around very peacefully without breaking anything like my iguanas do when i allow them to came in! What a pet!
I wonder if he is a male or a female.Can you help me? Yesterday i took some photos of him/her and ill post them here soon.
You were right, they are amazing!

SOUTHERN FLORIDA CORUCIA research center (sfcrc)

Location: LEE/1.

Hi Flavia,

I was thinking of you recently. It's been a long time. I was going to write you in general to see how you've been.

Welcome to the world of Monkey tails! They are a fascinating species!

For best results, Some outdoor exsposure is ideal for long term health and complete breeding success. Since your climate in Malaysia is similar to Southern Florida, you could adapt my guidelines at Location LEE/1. LEE/2 is further North and if you wish to go (or have no choice. ie. no screened-in outer area) mostly indoor- I can put you in touch with our second main location.

I hope this and the above information helps and let me know if there is anything else I can help you with, my friend

Most Sincerely,
Brian
SFCRC
