Nice post!

We have an Ornate Nile monitor and a pair of screaming Blue Spot Timors will be on the way soon.... I'm hooked!! :D

[Steeve B]

Cheers

thank you for the post steeve, im not sure if its cause i want one, but i certainly didnt see a monitor, want one, and just buy. I have always been intersest in monitors, ecspecially the raptor like ones such as argus, waters, and perenties. But I have been doing alot of research(the little there is), on red tegus. At least the little that i have found, there doesnt seem to be much info or sites in that matter on Red Tegus, or tegus themselfs. If you could give me some more detail on how you did those cages, that would be good.

Curious, are those barrels the ones that big food places get misc items in (like ketchup, and pickles etc)? Great article too:)

Hey good point Kyle, these are glucose barrels for medical supply, I guess any alimentary barrels who’d by ok, but avoid any chemical drums, I also use bigger containers use to ship grape juice, they are about 50$ but last forever and have a 2in drain valve. Cheers

There's a guy in Brampton on Heart Lake road that is selling those things for like $30 i believe.. I know some people are using them to collect water for their gardens etc in the summer.!!

Great post! :D

Any pics of the inside of the drum to show their set up?

[LdyDrgn]

Sure Steeve! I plan on taking a TON of pics after they get here and settled in. I just wish I knew when they were coming... :confused: Friends of ours are interested in a trade with us. They want to hand pick the best they can find for us. Aren't they sweet? So it may be a couple of months yet before we get them, at least... :)

hanks for the info steeve, I will probably just make a cage, or buy one. I was thinking of buying a boaphile, they are nice cages, would they be suitable? I will do some research on the Jobiensis. I am really weary of buying on the net, i am going to a show today and check out some there.

ooooh, the peach throated, sorry im not as up on varanids as i am snakes. Peach Throats are awesome little guys.

A friend of mine who is in Canada drew the pic. It will soon be tattooed across my shoulders (2 dragons facing away from each other, either coming out of a cloud or knotted together) in brilliant color. I'll see if he would be interested in drawing something up for you ;)
