Hello Yves temps are 80f min and basking 130f max, as for UV aim not going to discus this but, all living organism need the sun rays, even nocturnal animals. The way they get the suns benefits, is by feeding on diurnal plants and prey, simply said nothing on this planet who’d survive without the sun. Personally my monitors are not exposed to sun rays, but I grow my food to feed my rodents and insects outside.
A full adult male will be fine in a 6 by3 by2 feet cage, on a side note feed your prey animals, with carrots and gold fish color food, these are rich in beta carotene, beta carotene is part of jobiensis natural foods, and this is why they have such nice coloration. Feed it and see the difference!

I like to feed live but only young rodents, that are easily overpowered and have no way to injure the monitor, if frozen I just dump rodents in hot tab water until ready and feed no special preparation. Feed those smaller items as jobi’s are the raptors of the monitor world, they tear everything up. Cheers

That’s where peoples are mistaking, CB jobiensis and Doreanus of all localities, are the most endearing and beautiful of all the monitor clan, that’s why they are my favourite, cb don’t exhibit flight behaviour as WC do, they actually run at you for food, if allowed to they will jump on you and investigate for food, just throw a pinkie in the cage and off they go. As I said many times the only draw back is there needle claws, but that’s common to many monitors.
I have an amassing photo of six adult Jobiensis dispatching a rabbit; I will try to find it for you to see. Regards

i can't wait to see that pic
than you

With this said now, I have a rescue juvenile male, it’s a baby Sorong I sold last year, it was almost dead when I got it back, but now he’s doing excellent, here’s the deal make 100$ donation to this site, and its yours!
Kind regards
