About Arboreal varanids and rocks…

[Steeve B]

I see many peoples keeping tropical forest species with rocks or concrete block sometime cement wall or brick, this is not advisable as in the limited space we provide to our captives, they will constantly walk on over or try to climb these nail buffing surfaces, now its true they have rocks in nature, however they rarely have contact with these surface preferring trees and branches, this may not have much consequence with small to medium varanids, but its hazardous to large salvator and especially Salvadorii as they need all the grip they can have considering there weight. IV saw plenty of such animal’s barley capable of climbing falling off there once favourite basking branch.
