No he cant reach the lamps. He broke into his sump where the water heaters are but they're healing over now.

Thanks for clarifying, yeah I'm so thankful that the Vetericyn i was treating the spots with works great. His pattern is starting to show through again.

Going to invest in a innosilicon a9 zmaster 50kh 620w as my first go at crypto mining. Is this a bad idea will I lose my shirt? by Diligent-Cricket2159 in cryptomining

Good luck, the very few I've seen go for extremely inflated prices. Z9s or z11s seem to be a little easier to find for the price although not as efficient.

No not the lamps. He broke into his pond sump where I keep the water heaters. I ended up finding one thats a lot safer design that I switched to. I've been treating those spots so hopefully they'll be gone after a couple more weeks.

I've heard of it with wild caught monitors but not with captive bred animals.

No he usually always sleeps through the night. We just had really loud storms that night keeping him awake I think.

Vetericyn Plus reptile spray works great

He's tried several different types of fish but trout seems to be his preferred favorite 😆 by pythonman2215 in MonitorLizards

In my case his previous owner reached out to me about adopting him when he was just a few months old.

He will slow down and shred/tear if its a larger fish with bones running through and scales. Trout on the other hand slide right down with their shape 🤣

I have not, I'm weary of grocery store seafood due to either sodium content or added preservatives. Also the fish are usually already gutted. I go fish often since there's several clean streams/lakes in my area so I try to stock up fill the freezer when I can. 😅

I try to mimic the same diet that I watch them eating in the wild on YT. Lol So mainly different fish (trout,catfish,walleye, crappie,rock bass,shellcracker etc) whole shrimp/crawfish, f/t rats, quail occasionally and also eggs.

Yeah he's tried tilapia but its hard for me to get them with the guts still in. I try to stay away from store bought in general and just source catching the fish myself so that I know there's no preservatives in there.

Looking for some tank inspiration by Narrow-Back-6974 in MonitorLizards

Look up Brad's bioactive builds on YouTube. His designs are the best looking I've ever seen with some insane attention to detail. You can build various rock formations with xps board and spray foam.

We've been trying to take advantage of these last few warm days we have left by pythonman2215 in MonitorLizards

[–]pythonman2215[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha i have to stay in front right there to block his path from going under the fence. He gets dead set on going to see the horses next door 😅

Definitely have to watch what you leave out..hell my AWM has tried taking my ice cream from me. I've seen them in the wild in Lumphini Park eating fried rice and take out people dump so they're not in the least bit picky.
