Welcome to this forum mate! Super ugly monitors you got there, you should get something with more colour ;)

Just kidding of course. You should throw up some pictures of your enclosure too, if you can. Would love to see your set up.

Still so jealous that you guys can get locusts so easily over there. Would kill to get a colony going.

I showed DH the pictures and he agrees they are beautiful. He was all like "we should get one of those" (this from they guy who FREAKED when I brought home my BP). Then I showed him all thier requirements and adult size. He changed his mind. We'll just admire your lizards! :crazy:

I'm in absolute agreement! They are gorgeous lizards!

Not the komodos, though--sorry! After watching a komodo watch my granddaughter (at the zoo in Baton Rouge, LA, USA) as if, "Mmmm, there's dinner!" they kinda creep me out!

Think I'll stick with smaller herps myself!

Wow! We're finally getting RAIN--a DOWNPOUR! I wish it would last; we need a LOT of rain, as we're in extreme drought conditions here . . .

Anyway, love the gorgeous pics of your monitors! Thanks for sharing them!

Of course unless your enlcosure is 20foot high calling it arboreal is something of a misnomer.

Mate, I think youre using the wrong substrate in this picture. Granted its probably around 6 feet deep, but it probably smells something terrible to your monitor. ;)

Those are some beautiful monitors, your green tree looks bulkier/ more muscular than the half snake looking ones I typically see. Is he actually stocky or just the angle? How do you maintain a proper temp gradient in your hair? :3eyes:

He is very sticky if I'm honest I've been trying to get him a lil leaner if I'm honest so all the exercise is doing wonders ... Don't get me wrong he's not over weight I'm just trying to tone him up lol ... There usually is a big difference between males and females as males are always quite thick set ... But he is a muscular boy alright ....

There actually are snakes which are poisonous, I believe there are three genera containing poisonous species.
