Congrats Greg. My ackies started up again. She is the largest I have ever seen her so I'm hoping for a massive clutch. She has had two clutches of 15 before so I hope to see 18 this time :). Love the yellow siding on that male. I got the hogs out and start to heat up Sunday. Hoping to have my first successful breedings from hogs and corns. Last year everything was to young.

Gregg, what insects do you keep in your enclosures that are capable of decomposing the feces of monitors?

Isppods, meal worm beetle and larva, super worm beetle and larva, dermestid beetle and larva, milipedess, spring tails, and the thousands of good bacteria.

How much for a baby im intrested in buying when they hatch

$600 for sexed pairs. $250 each for unsexed individuals.

I thought millipedes released toxins as a defense?

And if you were to have only one in there(excluding bacteria) what would it be?

I don't think you fully understand bio active.

Beneficial bacteria is GOOD.

I know that it is good, but if I said didn't say excluding bacteria, he probably would've said bacteria. And I was more concerned about the insects/crustaceans.

isopods, wood mites and springtail are also helpful insects to have in a bio active enclosure.

not all species of milipede have that defence. And the species that I use is so small. not even the smallest of varanid would bother trying to eat one.

And if you were to have only one in there(excluding bacteria) what would it be?

To be honest, the way our substrate is running, I would not have only one other besides the bacteria.

I also forgot to mention that even though they are food, roaches have been able to establish smal colonies inside the varanid cages.
