Looking good there Wayne. funny thing about the snake is my adult ornate monitor won't touch snakes or the invasive bullfrogs we have out here.

I do not wish to discuss the "morals" of doing it. If I had buried the carcass, worms and bugs would have eaten it anyway.

Wayne was that the dominant male approaching from the basking light area towards the end (worm feeding)?

Liked the way he approached head down & long straight body as if to say these are mine!!

Yes that was. Cera is certainly king of the enclosure.

I have to pay attention that food is distributed evenly, or Littlefoot would never get any.

These guys like the basking spot HOT...

I could see you feed them evenly!

It's that kind of stuff i like to see, the different behaviours they present in different situations!

they look well!!

I was trying to find a pic that shows the lack of muscle tone from not been able to dig in deep substrate, this is the best i could find, you can see a big difference in the upper forearms that are used for the main digging>


I should delete these pics!! but i think you should always remember were you started!

This thread makes me want a monitor, but I know that I can't provide the right environment for them yet. Maybe some day.

The most epic of tripods yet, Cera stayed upright for a long time inspecting the lights...

Been looking at this thread a few times a week since you got Littlefoot and Cera, it's amazing how much they've grown and how great they look! Very nice job with them!

Been reading through this topic and finally reached the end, these animals are amazing! I love to see how well you care for them, they look very healthy and strong. Not fat and lazy as you see a lot of monitors in captivity nowadays. And they are beautiful! Been a lot of fun watching them grow up through pictures and movies, the were so tiny and shy at first! Their names are very fitting, i loved those movies as a kid. Hearing the name Cera always reminds me of what happened her voice-actor though... Anyway, Very nice!!

I will keep looking out for updates
