A few questions for a possible first timer with varanids
Hey, I have always enjoyed seeing monitors on tv and the internet but the more common varieties seem like they get a bit to big and are a little intimidating. But I have done a fare bit of research on Ackie's monitors and Blue Spotted Timor monitors and I could definitely provide the space and build the enclosure to make one of the two species thrive with me. My questions are pretty simple probably for most keepers on here but alas I know much much more on snakes.
Also I have the time and cash to make a good home for a lizard and make it happy, but I don't really know which species I should start researching more.
What size enclosure would be adequate for these kinds of smaller monitors (soo many different opinions out there) ?
Which of the two would have a gentler disposition?
What kind of substrate and furnishings do you guys use with these species of monitor?
One more: Is there any way I can buy food for a monitor so I don't have to constantly keep going out. (I buy in bulk for my snakes)
Thanks soo much in advance =]
