Big snakes, small enclosures.

[wilomn]

I have all the respect in the world for Brian, but I don't see the need to put a 6' Nile monitor in a 5'6" tub for feeding purposes. Especially when it is recommended that monitors have a cage twice their length.
About 4:30 in on this video= YouTube - SnakeBytesTV- Our diggs and a huge Monitor lizard feeding!!!

I don't suppose you saw where that particular monitor was kept as a 'non feeding' cage?

Have you ever watched a monitor eviscerate its food and then proceed to beat said food all over the cage to insure that said food was in fact completely dead and not only dead but tenderized to the point of possibly being mistaken for soup?

If you have then you know why he feeds in a small, plastic, easily cleaned container.

If you haven't, now you know why he feeds in a small, plastic, easily cleaned container.
