That's actually less than I was expecting, really the power costs are not an issue, I only have the the light on for the room I'm in, in every other room in the house I keep them off unless I'm in the room. Light hurts my eyes, so I don't have uneeded lights on. I can afford that easily...
Okay, sliding it is. Do you think I should use plywood or glass? I know their claws would scratch the glass up,but maybe glass for viewing? Or plywood doors and I could just put in a glass window
No worries, I can put in enough substrate, I honestly don't care how much the heating costs I want to provide him the best. I won't build to big of a cage, first I'm calculating lighting costs/needs and sort of planning around that. I don't think I'd go any bigger than 10x10x10 but I have to...
One thing I realized I almost smacked myself, for months I've been trying to figure out how I'd get the materials I need to build a cage. The doors in our house are 2.5 feet wide so I thought uh oh how are the plywood boards getting in the house?! Then I realized, turn them on the side! Duh...
your right, that is just what I'm going to do, it does seem dumb not to know that I think about it. I'm waiting to get the monitor, right now he's staying with a friend of mine both she and her husband make are reptile breeders, they have Tegus and they know how to keep monitors. They are the...
I don't think I have all the answers, I'm sorry if it came across that way, I was just saying, is it that bad to keep a baby in there just for a little? By a little I mean a month or two tops. I'm still trying to plan out a good enclosure, that will last, I keep scrapping every idea and restarting.
I know the correct things to do and I'm doing them, it's not a "fish tank" by the way, his final adult size enclosure will be an 8x6x6, I'm just keeping the tiny 3 inch baby Savannah in the tank as a temp home. This is not an adult Savannah, its a baby, smaller than a Gecko . The glass tank is...
No the quotes are what another person said about niles, I don't own or intend on getting a Nile I was giving an example of impulse buys. Did you actually read the question or just skim? Cause you mentioned in the your post they reason is since they are wc which is what I said.
Okay, I've been wondering something, almost everywhere I see monitor hatchlings like Niles and Savannahs, and other large monitors for a very low cost, I normally see Niles for around $20, but all the smaller monitor species that are much easier to keep are way more. Is this just because they...
What if I didn't put any substrate under the spot where the basking rock was? I'd put it everywhere else but under the rock?

probably a ceramic heater guard.
I'm putting stable surface under the rock, I've had electrician set up cage, so theres not a huge fire risk, I'm still worried. Oh well, I'm just nervous/excited for him!

I have a ceramic fixture for the halogen bulb, since it gets pretty hot. If I put light cover over the bulb, would...
I'm getting a Savannah and have done research for months, but I'm worrying about alot of things. But these are the main two.
1) I'm worried that if I use a slate rock for his basking platform that he'll dig under it and it will crush him
2) I'm worried the lights will cause a fire (even...
Would clamp lamps with a 50 watt halogen flood light bulb set on top of a piece of plywood, burn through it/be fire hazard? I'm putting a piece of plywood over the 55 gallon tank I have instead of the screen top.
I know the needed adult cage size, but this is a temporary cage for a 3 inch...
