    what r all the kinds of monitors?

    Buy a book on monitors. That's the best advice anyone can give you, if you're truly interested in them. They aren't normal lizards. They are very cunning, and very flighty, which makes for a crazy combination that can be tough to deal with. You don't want a nile monitor. Start off with a...

    beardie lovers, this makes me mad...

    Boo... What's wrong with people? That is small for a 6 month old...looks skinny too : (. My only hope is that they are advertising the enclosure and the dragon seperately in the same ad, and that is not what they were keeping him in. My dragon lives in a 55 gallon, and it takes a powersun...

    tegu toys?

    I watched my dragon attack a squeaky frog toy awhile back. He was just sitting on the bed all normal just looking at it until i lightly squeaked it. He kept coming closer to investigate, then just pounced at it a few times. It was entertaining. He was amazed by the fish bowl on the counter...

    tegu toys?

    That's funny lol. I watched my beardie chase around a bigger bouncy ball once or twice. It was pretty funny actually.

    Best kind of monitor lizard as pet?

    Savs are either hit or miss. Since the majority of savs are only captive-hatched, your chances of getting a really healthy one right off the bat are fairly slim - Which in the long run could cost more than purchasing a different, higher priced species from a reputable breeder. Ackies are...

    FRP for enclosure

    Lowes and Menard's both carry 4'x8' FRP sheets for around $27.00 a sheet.

    Not opening eyes?

    Word. If he's been in shed for a good bit, there's a pretty good chance that's your culprit, and a nice soaking could clear it up. Certain UVB bulbs will also cause eye problems - Just something to keep in mind for reference. When that occurs they usually hide quite a bit, keep their eyes...

    Hiding in my enclosure

    Syrup is viscous. Motor oil is viscous. Opossums are furry lol! Marsupials are quite amazing mammals. Monotremes are even more crazy yet.

    any ideas?

    Yeah, definitely of the teiid variety. I think the common name for callopistes is a false monitor. Not too common lol. Sweet find.

    Cypress Mulch!?!?

    Yeah, no kidding lol. We're not allowed to have placid exotic animals, but they can release nomadic, ravenous, blood-thirsty killers a few miles from my home. (sorry for the stereotype, but Granny's livestock was murdered...) Some people will never learn... Instead of educating themselves...

    FOR SALE: Argentine Black and White Tegu

    Wow, she is still extremely young. Poor lil girl just needs some attention, that's all. If I were you, I'd give it some more time to acclimate to its new surroundings and get used to you as well. You've only had her a couple of weeks. If I gave up anything difficult after a few weeks, I...

    sounds like a good deal

    Nice! He looks so friendly lol.

    calcium supplemnt question

    Very controversial... But I won't get into that lol! Since we know reptiles get their D3 naturally through UVB lighting, adding more to their diet - especially when how much is necessary is unknown - could prove harmful. The D3 was marketed for people keeping nocturnal reptiles - Which is...
