Re: Django the Nile Monitor

I know ML, I would like to get a smaller monitor species. I have my hands full with the 20 odd other animals I have right now as it is. I love ackies, and even a tree monitor would be really cool because it's more arboreal space.

And the more I think about it the more it kind of overwhelms me. Just the enclosure is going to cost $100s, not to mention keeping him fed and electricity to keep him warm. I've thought about building it in my garage and insulating it really well. It gets really hot (115 F) in the garage in the summer but then I could just turn off some of the lights. It never gets below 20 F in the winter really, and it's only that cold for maybe 2 weeks out of the year so I could run a space heater or something. Do you think the temperatures would hold at those extremes if I insulated and sealed it really well?
