Mickey the Mertens had a lovely time basking on the concrete outside yesterday whilst his enclosure was having a clean out. Can't say I mind monitor sitting. [emoji4]

I think you have it the wrong way around.... Mickey was human-sitting, keeping an eye out making sure you didn't cause any trouble while his other subordinate cleaned his room. It's clearly HIS house now.

So true....

He's definitely feeling much more confident in being out with the humans than he was a few weeks ago!

Good to see he's more relaxed now.

Much more relaxed! Thinks he owns the place! And thanks. :) was pretty chuffed that he inspected my phone whilst taking them.

Nope, he's all male. I've seen the bits to prove it! And thanks, he's [MENTION=32194]Smittiferous[/MENTION]' but I'll happily hang out with him anytime. :)
 
Smitti got all the cool stuff lol ha that narrow head through me, that why I thought female.
 
The two larger monitors have finally shifted into their new enclosure. It may change sometime in the future, as I would like to see how they interact with the set up, but for now I'm quite happy with it. Hopefully they are too. Here's some quick photos of them moving out.

More pictures of the little guy. You can just barely see the tip of his tongue in the first picture. Please excuse the poor lighting. Either the camera flashes and messes it up, or the picture looks too yellow due to the basking lights.

*** SAD POST AHEAD***

After almost 9 weeks hidden behind the back of my enclosure i managed to get out my Ridge Tail Monitor and i was stoked this was 5 days ago.. since then i had her moved into a simple enclosure lots of tiled hides and a perfect hot spot.. she began feed like a trooper.. and also settling down again... things were good... today i took my girls to the beach and when i returned i always check my animals out! And this is how i found her

She somehow she has sqeezed into the smallest of cracks between the hot lamp and the wire cage... she didn't have achance... i am devastated and annoyed at myself as I checked and double checked the enclosure for everything.. everything i thought was perfect... the girls and i are a sad Family tonight :(

Might be awhile before i look at trying to replace her.. RIP my lil friend..
 
Oh Murph! So sorry to hear that! You were so stoked when you finally got her back out too! Big hugs to you and your family.. :(
 
Thanks guys.. not good at all.. my girls were so sad last night :( i shall wait and see what the breeders offer up over the next few months...
