Hello
Just some friendly advice. If you have a screen top, it is a death trap. The screen allows humidity to escape and slowly turns your monitor into beef jerky. These monitors need a range of temp's and humidity. They also need lots and lots of hides. They need hides where it's hot, warm and cool and by that token hides that are dry and humid. The temps need to be as follows: basking 140, warm side 90's, cool side 70's. Humidity should range between 60%-90%. They need to have choices so they can thrive. Just some friendly advice.

Sweet monitor. I've narrowed my monitor choices down to these, peach throats and the black roughneck.

Monitors are not tegus and although the temp's may seem way to hot, that's what they need. The Rain Forest does get that hot on surface areas that are exposed to direct sunlight. Remember there are layers and the higher you go, the hotter it gets. These monitors are tree climbing and use the high peeks of the trees to bask. Mine are 30 inches and 26 inches long. The temps I've described are used. Like I said, just some friendly advise from someone who has two.
