Ok...club...when I went to expo last year we came home with a pastel ball. My bf got her. Anyway...i don't know if anyone else has this 'problem ' but can we just go to an expo without buying anything? Haha. I was tempted to buy a tegu there but refrained because was told most babies at that time were prob columbian and def not cb. In march I KNOW where my weakness will be. Last year I saw black tree monitors. I died.right there i died from their cuteness. They looked like jack skellington. ok now to end my ramble. Can I safely house one on top of my tegu enclosure? Does anyone know anything about these guys or had personal experience with them? I have been doing 'some ' research but want opinions here. I know they suggest 4ft high by maybe 4 or 5 long and 2 something deep. They like to climb. Um...not really the type that can be handled too much. Nervous. Which im ok with as long as it doesn't like attack me.haha.my cuban knights anole doesn't like handling but doesn't try to kill me. Maybe same type setup as niles but 'taller '....I feel like this year if I see them at expo my willpower will fail.haha. i have a name picked out and everything. "skellington ".

I have about 3 months of experience with them and the best thing I can say is that they are realy cool I prefer the blue or green trees but the need the cage like a iguana and the habitat like a chameleon but they are great pets but take a lot of working with id say they have the per of a Nile monitor

You're doing it again with the photos. How about this?

D, those things are expensive. I once had a rough necked monitor before I really knew a lot about them and it died because of my ignorance despite my best attempts to care for it properly. Do your homework.

Haha sorry to kill your buzz they are awesome but they are more of a show peace I'm my opinion

 

[BatGirl1]

Yes.I did do research but was more interested in people's 'personal ' experiences with them. For example columbian tegus had that 'bad rap ' yet many members on here have very tame ones. Like i said, i have reptiles that i do not hold for such reasons...but i still enjoy having them. Just don't want to deal with something aggressive that will jump out and bite me when I'm cleaning its cage. Haha. I have read they are very fast, so an escape situation would not make me happy :/ esp with it being a tree dweller/good climber...the sharp claws and teeth etc. And when it reached 3 or 4 ft I'd be doomed.

D, look up info on Rough Necked monitors, they are climbers that do not get very big. They are not too aggressive, just a little nervous. I want another one some day since I have learned so much more about reptile care.

 

[BatGirl1]

Thanks dubya, but it was really the overall "look " and mannerisms of the black tree monitor in particular that I loved. Skeletal and sort of creepy/tim burton-esque. Haha. I will look up the rough necked though. I saw a wonderful water monitor at the place I got niles...zoocreatures in plaistow. Huge and just amazing. But I can't really afford the space for him. :/ the tree ones I could go more 'upwards ', so.... but again, not purposefully seeking to overpopulate my home.just really liked the black trees and interested in maybe a jungle or jaguar carpet ( in future)... if i could convince bf held one , a baby, at petco or whatever and was pretty 'jumpy ' and following my fingers etc. I have researched them too. Snappy as babies but can warm up. ? Again, like anything else, there are exceptions
