Re: Monitor Care & Natural History; Zoo & Pet Experiences

Heart breaking. Even the hosts said he was lethargic. I just can't believe that someone can look at that animal and say that it's perfectly healthy. That guy is really small for 10 years old, and looks like he's about to drop dead. Mainly insectivore worries me too. Looks like I've got my work cut out for me as far as working at the SD zoo goes :/

Hi, if the length they gave is accurate (4 feet) then it`s a good average for an adult male V. exathematicus.
The condition was pretty awful, not sure when the animal was filmed (I saw the date of the video is 2012), hopefully if it`s from some time back, and the zoo has since updated it`s husbandry?
