Thank you all for your kind warming comments,as we all know as reptiles keepers goals do not happen over night.But in the end the reward it gives us,is what keeps us coming back stronger like an andrenaline junkie.Again Thank you!

Re: Finally the build is done!
Hi, the enclosure looks great, well done! Can you give some details of the temps and humidity, also, do you know how old the monitor is, and are you planning on getting a female at some point?
Kimberley rock monitors are one of my favourite pygmy Varanids, very pretty and sleek!

Temps go from 120 down to 80 on the ground cool end oppossite of the water bowl is 79 at night low 80's in the day! Im thinking of putting a under heat pad attacked to the large tote thats holding the substrate.Humidity 70% when i mist is daily it raise's to 80% something just for a few hours.The basking spots go from 120,110,100 & 90.So there plenty of diferencial temps for basking at what temp he desires! He is two years old & i would love to get him some adult breeding females! But looks like ill have better luck finding a berried treasure! When he perishes,hopefully not any time soon! Or i sell him then Ill buy a trio of tristis orientalis or a trio of ackies until then Rocky will be the king of the Rock!

Why did you choose 120 as the highest basking temp? Just curious why you didn't try 140 ,130, 120 , 110 or even 150, 140, 130, 120. 90 is more of a hotside temp rather than a basking temp no?

Yes 90 is more of a hot spot then a basking!Out of fear of maybe burning my monitor i guess, so far he likes the 110 basking spot he spends some hours/minutes a day there when he could be at the 120! He spends most of his time hunting for crickets,climbing,digging monitoring! I could go higher when i go out today ill try some higher wattage bulbs & see what he tells me so far he tells me he's happy! Any other suggestions are welcomed,remember this is a dwarf monitor not a savannah or peach throat!So in my eyes and his word higher is not needed. I'll give it a shot and see how he behaves!
