Gillens Monitor Set Up

[LizardLad]

Hey guy I’m new on here so please be kind haha..
I have kept and bred beardies for years but I’m always been most interested in monitor lizards.
So now I finally decided to get started and I’m looking to get some Gillens Monitors at the end of the year.
I got an empty 90x45x90 tank at home and am wondering if that’s enough for a pair or even a trio.
The tank has a really nice background rock wall and I have heaps of cork bark, hollow logs and branches.
Would also highly appreciat photos of your set ups

Looking forward to your replies

Welcome!

Gillens would use all the space you give them but an enclosure that size would do fine, as long as they had plenty to climb on.

Thanks mate. Literatur, our NSW licensing requirements and people’s personal experience seemed to differ a lot, that’s why I wanted to know a few more opinions.
As I said I’ve got plenty of hiding spots, branches, cork tubes and hollow logs, as well as the background. So they will really have a multilevel enclosure to feel save.
And I guess I can always upgrade to something bigger if I feel it’s not quite enough.

here's a pic of my son's Gillen's house (excuse the dirt it is waiting for him to come home) it is a 3x2x2 . There is only 1 monitor in there but he uses all the space and especially loves the background which only went in a few months ago

That’s a really nice set up you guys got there. I can see why he loves the background wall, it looks amazing. Same is true for that stack hide.
Thanks for sharing
