hi, I am relatively new to reptile keeping, and i would like to keep some monitors, i am constructing an enclosure 2m long, 1m wide and 1m tall. I'd like to keep 2-3 monitors, and the enclosure is inside.
It will have a top that opens and a glass front. I am going to fill it with 4in of sand (is beach sand good for this?) with basking rock at one side under a lamp (what wattage should this be?) with a temp at around 50-60 degrees(?) I am going to incorparate a flourescent for UV supplementation with venting at the top to allow air exchange
Is there anything else i should do? I have kept bearded dragons/skinks of various types and geckos. These were all wild, and before i knew better.
