Monitor thread

[mysnakesau]

Sorry, just a mis-understanding. I thought Serp was gonna suggest it mighta been difficult getting them out. But I read on and see it isn't an issue. Sorry. I still think it looks great. They look like they love their holes and caves.

My Desert sand Monitor's sure do love their plastic tubes and burrows they dig themselfs in the sand pit, if they did not loke them why are they all breeding together in this enclosure they live and share together.

just dont go wearing that shirt on oxford street Craig :lol:

and your goulds looks like either a Gu'ald monitor (stargate locality) or asian water monitor (varanus salvator)
but I can't decide which one?? maybe the Gu'ald is a safe bet...

I love the idea of the glass fence, does it sractch at all, i assume it wouldn't.

 

[serpenttongue]

Boa, can you tell me a bit about your pits construction? How it is fixed to the ground, how deep down it goes etc?

 

[reptilefan95]

nice boa would like to see many more pics of that enclosure as its being built!

 

[Retic]

Well believe it or not I didn't take any progress shots which for me is crazy as I am camera crazy.
Serpent, I used standard pool fence glass panels and posts concreted in about 400mm. The whole bottom is covered in heavy gauge wire mesh which comes under the glass panels. The back wall is steel sheets which bend down and come out about 600mm so there is no way he can dig under it.
The glass is toughened and is VERY hard to scratch.
I'm about to start a smaller one for Mertens and I will take photo's as I go.

 

[reptilefan95]

im looking forward to the pictures!
