New spencers monitor!!!

[Reptilefreak95]

yea, his basking is 60 hes got heaps of sand and hides, and hes on pinkies and crickets.

 

[Reptilefreak95]

but hes fed today again guess he just wasnt hungry haha, please excuse the nervous newbie worries. first monitor, couldnt ask for anything better really

Good to hear hes eating again. Pinkies aren't that good for monitors. They need the developed bones, organs and fur of adult rodents.

Such a fantastic looking monitor. Love how stoked you sound!
Keep updating pics!
So jealous!

 

[Reptilefreak95]

hes only 15 cm long dude, he cant eat adults, hence the calcium suppliments haha. Yea, hes a wicked little guy, im gonna try chop up an adult rat so he can get bones and stuff so its a bit healthier. and im pretty sure ill be looking for another one day in the near future! haha hes absolutely amazing, so lucky to have gotten him.

Try chopped legs and feet of day old chickens
One of mine had 3 pinkies the other day! Pig lol

 

[Reptilefreak95]

WOW, mines on one atm haha, growing quick though! theyre awesome, im so stoked!

 

[=bECS=]

They werent interested in them for awhile, I got sick of wasting them because they barely touch the sides for the bigger boy, so I brained the pinkies a few times and now they smash them

They've taken to the day olds too so give them a try.

 

[Reptilefreak95]

day old quails?

 

[Reptilefreak95]

can u show me a pic of Hercules in your hands? i wanna get an idea of how big he is

 

[=bECS=]

I've given them day old chickens legs and feet ( herc has the rest ) but you can chop whole day old quails too.

Hes alseep now, I'll try get one tomorrow if I have time

 

[Reptilefreak95]

Yea, i just got adult mice to chop up for him, he should love it, but ill try day old quails then, see how he likes it That'd be awesome if u could post a pic, mines grown a lot, hes 42 grams now so chuffed haha just wanna see what im in for over these coming months,

 

[=bECS=]

Herc didn't want to play today (he thought he was getting a feed when I opened his doors) so this is the best I could get, hes around 60cm:

 

[=bECS=]

....and heres a few updates pics of the other two for good measure

 

[Reptilefreak95]

aww wicked! cant wait till Finn as big as Herc! haha nice ones!

 

[=bECS=]

Hercs still a baby
Wait until they're around 18 months with big fat chunky legs and tails, round chubby bellies and are as long as your arm :lol:

 

[Reptilefreak95]

hahaha!! can u post pics of your others?

 

[=bECS=]

Herc is the oldest I have now.

I kept spencers along with sandies, beardies, diamonds, bredlis and bhps up until a few years ago but sold up all my herps after having a baby and losing time and interest.

Shes 5 now and I have some Spencers again lol so I also cant wait until they get bigger, I miss having a big chunky monitor walking around the place B)

 

[Reptilefreak95]

haha aww thats awesome! BHP's are the best, i got beardies, a darwin carpet, a bredli, my BHP and two beardies, then Finn haha
