Craigslist monitor rescue

I don't think you're stupid.... You seem to have the resources to get it back to health. I think that if you are fully committed in helping this animal then you did the right thing

Just remember that these guys get 6 or more feet in length, they will require a cage at least 12 feet long, the bare minimum, high humidity, a basking spot of 130 f or more, I think you should find murrindini, he owns a 7.5 ft water monitor, he's on this forum, but idk if he's active or not, if you have the resources to care for this guy, then do it. I'll also say that any care sheets you've read are probably full of crap, most are outdated. The only reliable care sheet that I've seen is the one written by vital exotics, one of the only actual breeders of these guys, check out varanustalk.com, it's really the only forum other than this one with accurate info lol

i think its good to give some animals a second chance.. you must just be committed to it and i think it will be all right.. that little guy is soo lucky he found you!

update: so i named the monitor Stubbs for obvious reasons but any ways its been 3 day and stubbs has shown much progress hes gained weight and every thing has healed for the most part im happy that i could make him have a better life if you look hes nice and plump now instead of being dehydrated and inproper nutrients
