Been thinking about adding some organic untreated peat moss on top- that stuff holds humidity really well without things getting moldy. I have a few pictures I want to share of his new enclosure even though it's not 100% finished yet. The reason I had to make the move early was because I was anticipating the arrival of my new Sumatran Water Monitor baby! I knew a girl that rescued him but thinks that I will be a better home for him. So I cleared Django out of his old enclosure and into his new one and got it ready for the new baby. I also have a little Savannah baby and am getting a yellow ackie at the beginning of next month. Very exciting stuff!

I like the look of that enclosure (well done), what`s the plant material on the left?
When are you getting the Water monitor, and how soon can you show a few pics??

It's actually like a plastic 'carpet' of grass. Similar to artificial turf but with big 'leaves'. It's like a ground cover for over there while I build the water feature that will go there instead.

Here's the water monitor picture, I just got her(?) on Sunday! I love her already! I'm going to make another thread for her because I do have a few questions about their care.
