No offense but it does look awfully open. Somtimes w/c monitors can do fine with glass walls, but I've found from experiance that it sure does make things a lot more difficult as a keeper to adequately provide for the cage enhabitant and can cause extreme stress.
Honestly, to me that cage looks like an oversized Ackie cage..........more suited for an enormous Ackie than an Albig in my opinion.
I'd strongly suggest you read up on Albig's natural environment, and areas in which they have been found. I think it may help you decide what you monitor is looking for.........
Also, don't come here looking for "approval", go straight to the horses mouth and pay attention to your monitor. I'm sure it will have all the answers to your questions. You just have to learn to know what it is telling you.
Best wishes with your new addition.

I will still come here for approvals and comments thank you
I have also read all i could fine about the monitors including Ravi book, and have spoke to many many ppl for advice. she does have about 4 hide areas and she seems to be settling in fine, now if you can tell me what you think she is missing i will look into providing it.
Thank you
Brian

Hey Bri nice setup! Althought was John is saying is true... the Retes stack you have is the best for ackies... Your white throat would probably enjoy the tank more if he has that depth of soil on the right all the way through with some logs etc on top. From what i know, they always tend to start a burrow up against something like a log etc and dig down from there. But again, if he is enjoying that setup then by all means continue to use it!  If the animal isnt telling you he needs anything then you must be doing something right!

Brian,
I think you totally missed a few of the points I was trying to make. Re-read my inital post with an open mind.
Monitors aren't like any other reptile that I have ever worked with. NOTHING is by the book with a monitor, nor does any one person hold the answers. Only <b><i>your</i></b> monitor can tell you what it wants. That is what I was getting at when I suggested you not come here looking for approval. What doesn't anyone's approval here on a computer have to do with you and your monitor?
Absolutely come here to share and ask questions, etc. but don't expect think anyone here ever knows better than your own monitor.

Understood Niagara
To date my monitor seems to be adjusting very well,
he is digging on the digging side sleeping/resting & basking on the retes stack and eating very well. dusted crickets mice, rat pups, and this weekend i am cooking up the turkey recipie from the san deigo zoo.
Best regards
Brian

Brian, if you monitor is eating the rats and bugs i would stay clear of that turkey recipe... From what i have read monitors have had problems from the recipe but monitors dont get problems from the whole foods diet (what you are using now).
