Re: Awm :) pics

I would tape up the rest of the top of that tank your loosing alot of humidity and heat with it open like that.
-
Yea we have it cover up now, we noticed the heat issue, not so much humidity. Thanks for the reply.
This was a quick lid because the tank is an odd size up top and the regular screen type lids wouldnt fit. He ate his first pinkie today though! Finally lol and a fish, along with some dubia. Im really diggin him..or her.
What should I be looking for if Im trying to sex it? I know its a baby yet, but just curious. Not planning on breeding or anything, just curiosity mainly..

Lol nah not really, but we do seem like crazy people to my family with all we have :P
I enjoy it, nothing like cleaning fish tanks, picking up dog poo, cleaning snake/lizard tanks to relieve stress and make you feel accomplished lol maybe me and the bf are odd though, probably why we get along so well.
Unless I find a sweet rssb male we,are done buying reptiles for a bit ;)

Re: Awm :) pics
This is going to be tough... Please don't think I'm one of those "internet haters" that gets off on putting people down, however I would be remiss if I didn't point out a few things.
Firstly, I hope you do know just how big that lizard is going to get. (I'm hoping you do)
Secondly, That whole fish tank thing is horrible, I just can't think of any other way to say it, it's a lizard killer. (we sometimes call that setup a jerky drier)
You really need to get a good sealed enclosure built right away. Every moment that your monitor breaths the "wrong air" chisles away at it's internal body chemistry, and in time will lead to the lizards health failing completely.
Captive Monitor Health!
The above link best explains why.

No not at all, I understand your concern completely!
Yes I know how big the lizard is going to get, as well as how long he will be with us. I wouldnt have ever gotten an animal like this if I didnt have the time, space and ability to feed and house it for its entire life. I say the same things and worry when people get real APBTs without a clue lol.
I own my home and will be selling and buying a place with more yard/an extra room specifically for my dogs and the reptiles.
I waited until I owned my own home before I got my first bully breed dog so as to ensure I would never have to worry about not being able to rent, etc with a dog most places do not allow, I say that so maybe you will see that I am not going to just ditch this animal and I and my bf are in it for the long haul.
I noticed the humidity/heat drop with the lid we currently have and its covered so the ambient heat and the humidity stays at good levels 85-90% humidity, we are going to make the lid better so it stays perfect, we live in Phoenix so it is very dry all the time and the lid we have was "half assed" because the proper lid for the tank was lost and the one we got for it as a replacement was not secure and I would hate for him to escape and become dog/cat food! I completely agree that this lid situation isnt correct and the bf is already planning a custom plywood "tank" for the room that will offer more space and stop the heat/humidity issues.
I hope this offers some relief in your worries, and I will post pictures of the new setup and build when complete. I appologize for worrying you!
