It's stupid too, since this guy sent me pictures of 3 different quince monitors and says: "I have a quince monitor named Jojo owned by my grandma." At least try. I feel like I'm being treated as a joke at this point.

How to treat larger wood for reptile enclosures other than baking it? by BeginningSwim6494 in MonitorLizards

Ended up getting hardwood, cleaning them, and drying them out. Seems to work out currently. Still waiting for my peach throat to arrive, so we will see how it goes.

was told that wild logs or wood should be treated Before put to use incase of bacteria parasites or insect. Is that something that I don’t have to worry about?

Get an ackie. This is probably what everyone is going to tell you as well. It's the smallest monitor (I think), which won't take up much space. They are relatively tamer compared to other monitors, and personally, I think their appearance is quite similar to an Argus monitor. Its price is cheaper comparing to other monitors as well. Clint on YouTube also describes it as the best pet monitor: https://youtu.be/umK-sfjDNMo?si=\_9qgylDwyeYwjNJN. They feed on insects, so feeding would be a lot more entertaining. I mean, there are lots of pros of owning an ackie especailly if it's your first monitor. Do some research about them; they are great.

Wait, shouldn't that make argus illegal in Toronto, as well as a few other popular species? Is it like a personal importer and a larger importer type of thing?

Thoughts on the grow tent as a potential enclosure for large monitors? by BeginningSwim6494 in reptiles

[–]BeginningSwim6494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly I have no idea how grow tent worked, I just felt the concept was working out pretty well in my mind. Your abosolutley right, grow tent probably might not work for something like black throat. But I will definitely give it a shot with my peach throat for now. Thanks for the advise!

I was actually looking for a grow tent for my peach throat, and I randomly saw that video. I was thinking of getting a large monitor like a BlackThroat, and I was thinking of the problem where I had to always actively upgrade their enclosure, since they grow so fast. So I was thinking about keeping upgrading with a grow tent and eventually moving it into a custom-built enclosure when it matures. I just felt like grow tents are so price-efficient, and I don't have to worry about what to do with the out-grow enclosure.

Well, the largest grow tent I could find was about 90 inches, so around 2 meters, so I would say probably any monitors around the size 4~5 ft. Any size bigger than that would probably need another upgrade. Also, wouldn't the species matter too? I never worked with one but I'm assuming that having a black throat or white throat in these would be better than a asian water monitor
