Where did you say you will be adding substrate? Give me your paypal email and ill send you some money.

i would be more than willing to accept your paypal donations to see that this lizard gets a proper cage to both our liking but without your donation your requests go unheard.

[poison123]

I havent requested anything though.....

The way I interpret your Logic;

You're on a budget, stressing multiple times this was expensive to build. So with that said, building the "dirt" addition will take you 6-12 months before you even start it.

With that said, you're aiding the already declined health of your monitor. You're theory is backwards. Focus on the NEEDS, not wants. You're putting yourself before the monitor.

i said multiple times that that was the reason i went with aluminum to be able to expand as he grew..so i dont have to keep building and throwing away cages. and so filter the water to keep it cleaner because hell require more .but it went unheard everyone was having to much fun insulting me... and its a great design just a little elaborate for just a pond but ive put all i have into this I broke my hand and am on disability for a few more weeks and I wanted to do what I could for him before i go back to work.

I make good money im an ironworker but dont have time

[deze69]

im on disability right now .. its over in two weeks.i plan on moving to a nicer home and i need the cage to match.. my wife dont care about no lizard if it looks bad shes gonna be pushin me to get rid of it.. i try to keep everyone happy.

I assure you the lizard is very resopnsive and healthy

[deze69]

I assure you I didnt get on here to fight I just wanted to share with those who didnt know that there are other alternatives to wood.. but where im at right now the cage has either gotta look right or the lizards gotta go. and you know how hard it is to find a good keeper.hell i rather have saved my money and bought some new suspension for my car but I did what was right.

[deze69]

save your money poison ill get it soon he will be fine...thanks though

I normally keep my mouth shut on bad keeping post like this, when the owner knowingly has bad keeping practice, but rule #1 in herp keeping is you don't buy an animal if you cant afford, or have time to build proper housing, that nile is already too big for the cage your building for it at this point now, so its not throwing cages away and building one that can be upgraded, its building garbage straight out of the running gate, years ago when I had a nile monitor, I got it at about 12 inch, housed it in a 8'x2x6' tall with 2 levels, it hit 4 feet before the 2nd year so it seems like yours has been stunted in growth by the small cage it was in, and now it big its going into another cage its too small for, im not trying to insult you, as hard time falls on us all and I understand, but I hope when you say everything you don't want to hear about spending money with out donations, to build proper setup for a GIANT lizard you picked, is just venting about the flac your getting, but honestly its not like you thought you were buying a bearded dragon and had a proper 3 foot tank and accidently broke rule #2 ie don't buy anything before you do your homework, and ended up with a nile and now your struggling to deal with it, that I could some what see where your coming from. Please do your lizard a favor and build a 12'x4'x6' tall cage, with 2 feed of substrate to dig in, plywood is cheep, stain it,seal it, make it nice and your wife should not mind either, Good luck. then you will have a happy lizard and you will feel good your doing the right thing, unfortunately building an insufficient cage instead of buying suspension for your car is not. I wish your lizard the best of luck.
