Re: Monitor enclosure discussion thread

to respond what i had mentioned earlier the other thing beneficial with a smaller cage is that if you are off in temp/humidity you can achieve it quite quickly with small adjustments.... In a large cage this could take hrs to see and you may not be right so trouble shooting can take too long....(early prep is required of course). Smaller cages can be adjusted within minutes.

You dont need minutes... or even hours to adjust stuff.

killing a varanid takes years of bad care not a few days of off temps and humidity, babies are just as hardy as the adults the only difference is they cool down and heat up faster they can still take the lower temps the adults can handle.
Thats why they survive so long in a jerky box...

Safely down to around 65f body temp theyll still survive quite a while... since most houses have a room temp of 75f...
