Re: Rescued Nile Monitor. Need advice.
well, honestly LF & Cera never bury food, they slam it down and walk away when satiated.

My guess your feeding him to the point of satiation and heres the key part your feeding schedule means he never need go back for the rat
Next time he does it dont feed him see if he goes and digs it up.

I have a hunch you're right... I agree, next time he does it, see if he goes back to get it if you don't feed him.

Re: Rescued Nile Monitor. Need advice.
Going to start a new thread on Django where I can post pictures and video so everyone can tell me how awesome he is and I can be like "I KNOW, RIGHT?" lol.
Now that he's happy and healthy and normal, I want to thank everyone again form the bottom of my heart for all your help and advice. You guys helped me save this animal's life and I am very grateful. I know he is too!

try now Stefan. It's a forum security measure to keep spam off the boards.

Re: Rescued Nile Monitor. Need advice.
Thanks Wayne, here goes....
Heating a basking site using low wattage halogen bulbs (I need to use more because of my monitor`s size)... The bottom pic was taken before I made the box to stop him touching the bulbs.

Re: Rescued Nile Monitor. Need advice.

Re: Rescued Nile Monitor. Need advice.
Thanks for the pictures! That is a great example. I am going to have pretty much the same thing but with the bulbs hanging freely so if he tries to mess with them, they will swing out of the way. Is yours a Nile or a Water Monitor? I'm not too good with telling the two apart yet, sorry to say.

Water. If you're ever unsure, just look at the nostrils. Waters have them on the tip of the snout, Niles have them farther back on the side of the head.
