hi guys im looking at getting a lace monitor but i need to know everything first anything i should know about them befor i get one also im looking at ideas for a enclosure an wee to get my lace monitor from in melbourne any ideeas???
Ridge-tailed monitor.
And then in a year or two, you could move up to a sand monitor.
Lacies are as hardy as hell but also very aggressive.
I refuse to even enter the enclose on hot days especially when their at head height on a tree basking .
All the smaller monitors are useful for beginners, ackies and Bleack-headeds would be the most suitable in my opinion. The larger species such as Gould's, panoptes and particularly Lacies have the potential to cause serious injury if you cop a bite. There are numbers of people out there who have lived to regret the trust they placed in their "tame" monitors, and with Lacies, the switch from benign and passive to feeding mode can be so quick it's imperceptible and by then it's too late.
