I saw an AWESOME beautiful water monitor at zoo creatures when I got my tarantula. I think it needs adoption. It's huge and gorgeous

Are you familiar with Regal Reptiles in I think Providence, RI? I was there a few years ago and it seemed like a good place.

To be honest, the only species of monitors that could live their whole lives in an 8 by 4 by 4 are the dwarf species, a Savannah, or a Flavi. Any of the others need more space than that in my opinion.

I was looking at a Flavi cross, but not sure if the girl will still have it when I am ready. If I get something bigger the 8x4x4 will be temporary.

I have never been to regal...no. and the reason i mentioned the water one is zoo creatures often tries to sell things people are not taking care of to good homes. They also have a stunted gator they wish someone could give a good home. I wish I could take them all which is why I could never work at a shelter...haha. i'd be over run and have to live in a shack outside so all the animals could have rooms in my house... :)

12x8x8 or so cage for an adult male in my honest opinion. I guess smaller for a female but not too much. We're talking about an animal that could hit 9 feet. All I'm saying is if you wanna go big the cage dang well better match the animal.

Not for the prices he is asking. I'll pass. I have a 12x10 room that I plan to dedicate to reptiles or a reptile if I decide on something that will need all the space.

I would love to just make a whole room into a habitat...i have 3 rooms dedicated to other species right now, though... 2 teenagers (daughter and son) and a 23 yr old son :)

I freed up a room occupied by a 19 year old by sending him to the Navy. Now I have a free room and the navy is paying for his college.

I can't believe you have a 23yr old son. In your avatar picture, your finger seems so youthful.

Actually, dubya, that is not my 'real ' hand. I always use a stunt double for such things... but thanks for the compliment. I'll pass it on to "inga "...she'll be flattered. :) heh heh
