Agreed! You're missing out on some of the most entertaining Gilleni behaviour without some height for them. They need some branches and a back wall like your other enclosure and they will be infinitely more enjoyable...
Great work mate, I love small Monitors and pics of their enclosures are always tops...

Looking good, that background is unreal! The only thing i can suggest is maybe give them a hide or two? I dunno if they are similar in this respect, but my ackie loves his hide and he usually retreats there after a feed.

Tristis Orientalis.
Cant wait till it gets some size on it so i can out it in a larger enclosure

thanks for the constructive criticism I didnt realise the mulgas liked to climb!! i will def make some changes 2moz!
As for the tristis.... theres a reason u cant see them in the pics there are a few hides in the background... unfortunately it was baught not built. but really its just foam blocks which have been painted and bolted on the back... thing weighs like 100kgs! i still have a few hollows to add with the tristis but they are in the freezer atm killing of all the bugs

Don't think you'll find any bugs capable of killing your monitors on logs mate don't worry!
Beaut enclosures.. do the tristis like to climb? I am in the process of getting an enclosure made for a pair but it's only 60cm high... are they very aboreal?
Are yours tristis tristis or tristis orientalis? Post some pics?

Yeah I suppose I can build it up for climbing even at 60cm, grab some branches and what not.
Cheers Aslan you're my monitor advice guru!

Here's a pic of my gilleni's tank:
That was taken when i first got him. He's bigger now and has even more branches which he loves to explore and destroy. Please excuse the white stuff on the glass, just some calcium carbonate that built up when the tank was running as a marine fish tank.

Interesting how many people don't realise that reptiles live in the bush, under logs, rocks, inside hollow branches, under bark - damp, dry etc etc etc... but still need to ensure that there are no 'nasties' on branches or natural decorations that they use in their enclosures. Weird...
Give them something fresh from the bush - no harm will come of it...

I will second that, as long as things like mites and ticks from the bush are controlled natural materials are not harmfull to animals (as most people seem to think!)

Phil - Hahaha, much more of a compliment than I deserve...
...If nothing else stick some corkboard to the walls, they will comfortably climb that
Pythoninfinite - I couldnt agree more, I just chuck timber straight in. If nothing else I have found small Monitors love poking around in new timber bits - not sure it would have the same effect sterilised...

lloydy that fluoro lamp is just there to provide light, It's now been replaced by another spot light to provide a 35-40'C basking area.
