New Varanus varius aka "Lace Monitor"

Hi there, here are a few pictures my my little guy/girl, approx 20-25cm.


Enclosure Size: 120cm High x 70cm Wide x 44cm Deep.

It looks like a nice little specimen, although it's a bit on the lean side.
I recommend feeding it up a bit and providing more cover, as juveniles feel more secure that way.

Looks great

Out of curiosity, Whats the hot spot at on that branch?

Yeah i only got him a few days ago (the day i took these pictures was the day that i got him) , he does look a bit thin, but bulking up now. Eats like a pig.

Hot spot on the branch is 32 degrees Celsius.

My basking site for my Lacey was 60 degrees, I'd recommend you jack up your basking site quite a bit. Great looking lacey but.

Alright i have an extra light, so that should get it up to 60 degrees. (Misleading care sheets...)

lovely little Lacie. Really need to get around building a large portable enclosure (probably collapsable) so I can actually keep a Lacie lol

 

[Stompa]

Yeah mate... the joys of renting (i rent so cant really have a massive permanent enclosure)

 

[CrazyNut]

Haha yeh. I still got to work out what I'm going to do when my V.mertensi reaches full size lol at least that won't be for a few years yet XD. So how old is this little fella?

 

[Stompa]

About 1 month old +/-

How do they go in a large enclosure at such a small and young age

That hot spot is very very low, at least double it.
