Another obsession of mine

[Scale_fever]

Well hello all,this might take a while.6 years ago i started herping,i must admit, I was hooked! See since I was a child i was fascinated by dinosaurs. Being born in the U.S. and departing here from a young age to a foreign country took away a lot of privlages, Work was the top priority to help construct and maintain our household. We were poor. Growing older, wiser, kinder. I grew eager to explore and return to my homeland. Land of opportunity INDEED.. I was introduced to my first leopard gecko 6 years ago and it hasn't stopped since. From geckos to milk snakes, skinks to annoles, pythons, to tegus, to caiman lizards to now, the cream of the crop Monitors. A gentleman approached me and asked me if I wanted something, he overheard the conversation between me and the clerk at our LPS. We exchanged numbers and was told that I would be contacted in a few days. One day he calls me and tells me what he has. I was surprised to come upon and find out it was a GTM. I was Extatic!!! These were the conditions that this poor monitor lived in for several years since a baby. She was kept in a vision cage. 3' x 2' x2'. Her cage was Very bare and was never under the proper care. The owner said she barely came out, she was very shy. Ate well but without the presence of anyone by. Well after the phone call I started building the enclosure. I had posted pictures on other forums with hopes of some help from some hands on experience from other keepers. I was shut down. Told that this enclosure would not substain or support any varanid of any sort. I like a challenge, and I do not like when my intelligence is insulted. As none of us do. So I put the gears to work and built this enclosure. I have had this GTM living here for over a year. Tong eating,basking for most of the day & wondering the enclosure for several hours.Can this support a monitor, or not.These are facts not fiction! Here is my enclosure,my collection, my life! Against all the odds.... Come chew me up & spit me on the floor & step on me if you dare.Complements are welcomed, as questions are too! My name is Jose i am a proud herper 7 like to share my experiences & knowlegde with others,I shall learn until i die until then i will always try!So member of varanus.net come by & tell me what am I doing wrong! just because i don't show off,or post often on your forum does not mean i have no experience in varanids. i admit i'm rolling into a storm on open water,guess what i am a 4th generation of fishermen the sea is my home! even thou it's in my blood,herps have my support! So in what conditions should a kimberly varanid be kept in! See i posted here knowing that this will be heading there soon,i might be out cast or expelled.But i made my point to me it all that matters beside my family & pets well being & health.
