I gave them 4 dozen small crickets (all the pet store had) and watched for a few minutes and all 4 of them ate readily. I checked an hour later turning all logs/sticks and what not and saw only around 8-10 left. I'm glad to see them all eat!

Very good, they sound like they're settling in well!

Re: My monitors are stuck in transit :(
I messed with them often so they should be accustomed to people. The two larger ones are normally out and checking things out. What size crickets did you use. I have been doing a mix of large and mediums. If it is to large then they will share lol- for real.

Re: My monitors are stuck in transit :(
The pet shop only had what they called smalls. They were .25"-.75" guessing the measurement lol.

Re: My monitors are here!!
It is a 50gal Rubbermaid tub. Contains sticks, logs, elevated basking spot with different levels, hollow half log, leaf litter, 6-8" substrate. I am actually putting in another basking spot to add more basking options for them. It is only for me to observe them a bit to be sure all pull through the intense shipping indecent well. Oh their is a few dubia in there as well.

Re: My monitors are here!!
Should aim to get more crix in there tomorrow. Probably 6 dozen if you can get them. The leaf litter will help keep humidty and they seem to enjoy snooping around in the leaves.

Awesome I'm happy they turned out alright. Waiting on a new reptile is like being a kid on Christmas Eve. They look great.

Re: My monitors are here!!
And once you actually get them, waiting to let them settle in well is a bit worse!

Re: My monitors are here!!
Yay my littles are in the big gage now and loving it! All four are super eaters to the point I only see them not looking for food or eating it when they bask and are sleeping. They are plump little things for sure. And WHY oh WHY must they see how much sand they can possibly get into the water dish before I change it every morning!! LOL If I did not know better I would swear they use a shovel to get all of it in there. I would understand if they had dug a burrow near by and flung it in but that is not the case no burrows are to be found near by. It is almost like they get in water then walk out roll around in the sand then wash it off and repeat.
They move around so much it is hard to get a photo that is not blurry. The gopro2 in its current mount on the cool end is gathering to much condensation on the watertight case so I'm currently moving it inch by inch to the less humid hot side trying to find the sweet spot that is not to hot or to humid... slow process to say the least. I may even have to figure a way to lower the mount so that it is not up so close to the top of the cage where the humidity builds up.
