He is absolutely adorable! I've always liked their faces as a monitor. Instead of being wide and short like a sav it's long and pointed. Very cute! If I had room for big monitors I would get one!
Thanks guys for all the kind words!
Before I had gotten my first one I was told they were very shy and skittish. I had heard that a CBB would be a little better but not to expect much as far as interaction goes as they were a "look at pet". So the first one I got was CBB(he's the one in...
I took a vid this morning of my green tree monitors. I thought some of you might like it:)
The first part is me watering Jade first thing this morning. The second part is right after Emeril woke up(he's still in the bird house with his head sticking out) as I was making eggs for breakfast...
ijmccollum, yes it can take a few days sometimes. Do you have crested gecko diet by chance? I give mine fruit as a treat like in the vid but I mostly give them crested gecko diet and a few cal dusted insects a week. I feed them the crested gecko diet every other day. You can also give the...
Thanks! I have a pair of Giant day geckos and they are also tame:) Yours can be too if you work with it. They are very skittish in the begining but if you hand feed it insects and let it lick applesauce from your fingers they become unafraid.
Check it out
Somebody asked me to do a...
Hmm, you might want to look online and see if anyone sells it. If you have a scale to weigh him I can tell you what the proper dose will be and how long to use it. Another option is to try Reptaid. It kills parasites most of the time from what I've heard. I used it once on a corn snake and...
Cool, I'll have to check the nursery and see what I can find. No prob adding an extra light for plants.
That hibiscus tree is really pretty, btw, I'd love to find one like it:)
I sure hope so Julirs! I wonder if next time I hatch out babies I should just go straight to pin head crickets instead of fruit flies. Avoid this all together!
Wow I never saw a hibiscus that big! I always see just the little ones in the pots at Lowes. It looks like it might work if I find a big one and prune it. The bamboo looks good for him when he climbs up but all the branches he would use to crawl across are too tiny. That's the problem I had...
Ha Ha I can see it right now, me getting arrested for stealing branches off somebody's tree! LOL! Seriously though, I'll try looking around for some:) I know Ft Carson has a bunch of fallen thick branches by the fishing ponds.
Hibiscus gets thick enough you think?
Very cool ponders I'll try that, I didn't think you could dust fruit flies. They are sooo tiny, I thought they would die from calcium being stuck to them.
Hmm I don't think the bowl is the issue because she eats the fruit flies from one. I have a stick that she can climb down into it and come out when she is done. She practically runs down the stick to get the fruit flies, lol!
She is unusual, which is why I kept her, she is not afraid of me...
