Richard, I will tell you what they are like next week when mine arrives from Victoria. I understand they are much like any other mid sized monitor as far as feeding etc. Pretty placid too which is good.

What's the material you are using in your enclosure Boa?

 

[Retic]

Do you mean for the framework ? It is aluminium Qublock, you cut it to length and join it with the various plastic joiners to make whatever shape you want, it is very versatile and as some know I love it LOL.

 

[dee4]

Seems simple, where do you get it

 

[Retic]

Yes it is very easy to work with and is cheap. You can buy it at Capral or any good aluminium supplier.

[Retic]

Richard, yes it was.

nice boa,i thought that sold ages ago,nice buy,he will enjoy his new abode,would love to see him in there when u get him,that will b awsome

 

[Retic]

It actually did sell quite some time ago but the seller was extremely helpful and kept hold of it until my cage was finished. I wasn't prepared to buy it before I had something suitable set up for it and he was more than happy to keep it for me. I thoroughly recommend him.
I will post some photo's when he arrives.

 

[richardsc]

yeah he has some nice monitors,im meant to be getting some tristis off him,but car troubles have put it on hold in the mean time,thats nice of him to hold it for u,i guess u paid in advance of left a deposit or something,but still a good gesture on his part,you will b getting a nice animal off him as well,looking forward to seeing him and his new palace u have made for him

 

[Retic]

Richard and indeed anyone else who is interested this is the Mangrove Monitor, he is absolutely beautiful and now all I need to do is find a female to go with him which I am lead to believe is not easy but I am a patient man.

 

[mr burrito = god]

that mangrove is incredible, i hope you get a nice female for him good luck

 

[Aslan]

Awesome monitor, is that full grown?

Any chance of a pic of him enjoying his new enclosure?

 

[Retic]

Yeah he is incredible. Females apparently are slightly more common than rocking horse poo LOL.
Asian, yeah he is about full grown. I will try and get some tomorrow, he is asleep at the moment.
