The mangrove eating shrimp

It doesn't have to be every comment on every thread by everyone who isn't a senior member here. Which I'm beginning to notice is becoming a pattern. I'm glad you feel so passionate about it, and are concerned for the monitors, but you don't have to try and find something wrong every time. Its just a video of a monitor eating something and making loud crunches.....and I actually knew you were going to ask me what hes eating.

And if you watch debby downer, she manages to ruin all the fun by saying something negative about everything.

you see it as negative, i see it as making sure you are feeding your lizard properly so it can thrive. when I started with monitors i had someone go through all of my threads and ask me more questions then i do and criticize me more than i do to other so i dont feel bad, if there is a chance it can save the monitor or make it better than i will ay what needs to be said.

I don't care if you ask questions, but it doesnt have to be the only thing you do. On gabriellas thread all you did was speak negatively and demand pics of the enclosure. Don't give a negative vibe, try to do this thing called 'complimenting'. Your enclosure looks great, how deep is the substrate? Not , hmm this is confusing, why are you refusing to show me a pic??

While I agree that it is good to look out for others, maybe it would be best to step back and see if there is any evidence of improper husbandry? Not including every detail does not necessarily mean that something is wrong...

Also, the video description says "Mangrove eating large organic shrimp".

Here is a perty pick of the little guy. I did an experiment with my 120 watt bulb to see how temps would be. Humidity didn't drop too low, basking was good, and the temp gradient was perfect. Then I came home from a run, and the light was off....with a crack and mud on it I guess he didn't like it. Now I have the 50 watt flood and 60 watt ceramic again.
