Re: Monitor enclosure discussion thread

Raising baby monitors in an adult enclosure as a beginner is that really a responsible thing to be encouraging.The reason i heard to use smaller enclosure is it's easier to control conditions and feeding.Not that the monitors can't find the food but that it is more accessible.A small cage isn't too small for a small monitor-who has heard of there being a problem using smaller enclosures for baby monitors.They can get plenty of exercise and stimulation in a smaller cage-if you want to do it, fine-but is it better?

One of the worst "human" traits we posses is procrastination, everyone does it sooner or later.

So why tempt a beginner with a small cage they are going to have to rebuild, improve on or upgrade every few months?

Why not start right out from day one with the proper box??

then that "I'll get around to it sooner or later" bug can't bite.
