Re: Littlefoot cage idea..
I had my Diamond Jungle in it for a while now, I just moved him into a 5x3x3. Right now I have a young rescue Iguana in it now.

I hope you have a better thermometer in there than that strip thermometer.

Re: Littlefoot cage idea..
I am not keen on gluing anything loose to the walls, it can eventually fall free.
Something new I bet you never knew.
A monitor has no taste buds, their feeding response is scent based, so ANYTHING that a slug or snail has crawled on, leaving a slime trail will be eaten.
I watched Chomper try and eat plastic and cardboard off the ground, I never understood why he would do that, Now I know.. It is the scent trail left behind by slugs crawling on it.
So let's just say I glue a bunch of pebbles to the wall, and a slug crawls on them, then said pebble falls into the enclosure, now Littlefoot is eating pebbles.
No thanks, I will pass.

Re: Littlefoot cage idea..
I remember once I had to take a hunk of plastic away from Chomper as he was trying to eat it.
Just envision taking a deer leg away from a dog once the dog has it in it's mouth.
Scary and not fun.

I mean is I am trying my hardest to be patient, using my time for research and expanding my knowledge.
Doing my best to resist one of the yearling animals that's available.

Pretty much.
It will take me a few minutes, but I have the study paper on the reproductive patterns, and I will gladly type some of it out here.
