I just woke up and I found this yellow eggs or balls in my Savannah monitor
Look at this long beautiful baby! Liora was feeling a bit antisocial because of a big shed, now she’s out getting her bask on.
I was fortunate enough to be able to see the magnificent Komodo dragon up close during my visit to the Singapore Zoo this afternoon! The huge lizard was lying flat on the ground in its enclosure, taking a rest. I love how this view of the Komodo dragon makes it look so docile and, dare I say, cute, with its head resting on its right leg!

I have a baby mangrove monitor that I’ve only fed insects and mice, I want to feed him shrimp but I’m not sure if live shrimp from the grocery is safe because of disease or parasites is just pet shrimp from pet stores okay?
Don't worry he's back to monitoring things now 😂
Full disclosure - I'm not keeping an Ackie currently but it's one of the animals on my bucketlist about 10 years down the road. So,
How many times do you spray their enclosure ?
What humidity are yours at ?
What temps do you keep your's at ?
I heard that heat lamps should be used during the day and RHP's at night cause RHP's can't usually provide enough heat to penetrate the body so heat lamps should be the main source of heat. Is this true ?
Do you provide yours with winter periods during the colder months ? Like reducing temp, increasing humidity. I read that this could benefit them.
What substrate do you use ?
How difficult would you consider them on breeding ?
What enclosures do you use ?
I have a few questions about outdoor enclosures, if anyone keeps monitors outside and is up for a chat that would be a great help! Thanks in advance
My monitor escaped around a month ago. Week 1 we put cameras out and seen it a couple times while we were at work but could not do anything about it. We tore the entire house apart multiple times and never found it. We modified a cat trap so that it would not hurt the lizard and also so that it had no gaps for it to escape if it did to manage to get trapped. Unfortunately it's been 3 weeks and no sightings on the camera. Now I have a 2x4 x4 enclosure that I built with a three and a half gallon pond, waterfall, automatic sprayer, and lots of live plants. I'm having trouble finding a new monitor. I live in North Carolina. Does anyone have suggestions for a reputable online source, or a company that they personally have face-to-face experience with? This is the first time I've ever lost a pet, it's been a depressing journey to defeat. I can only assume it found its way outside...
Recently got a black throat baby, was super chill out the package and good tounge flicking but now he is acting spicy and defensive now that he’s in his enclosure , I’ve dealt with defensive lizards before but never a monitor, any tips? I know about the clothes in the enclosure for the scent but I’d like to avoid putting my socks in the cage😂
He's such an awesome little guy!
They can’t digest plants. There’s kelp and marigold flower etc. It’s the monitor’s bite by Gargeer

Hi I have a few questions regarding Ackie monitor setups so I can try provide the best possible setup.
Lighting - Arcadia Jungle Dawn ? If so what size/watts
Heating - Arcadia E27 Solar Basking ? Other options ?
Substrate - I read that Coco Soil / Coco fibre are good options. Any other suggestions or which is best of the 2?
Everything else I’ve pretty much got covered and have lots of experience with snakes and lizards but never a species of monitor. Thanks for any help 👍
What monitor?
What GPU?
Are GPU drivers up to date?
I'm on laptop, I just connect it via hdmi to hdmi. The hdmi and display cable isn't the problem as I have already changed both.
