Croc monitor

[BallPython17]

Just got this bad boy yesterday. He is a wild caught so he's in quarantine right now, he's 4ft. long. I have to get him dewormed, does anyone know a good medicine for deworming? And also I was gonna ask the croc monitor owners if they can post pics of their setup. Well heres a pic of the bad boy soaking.

Thanks. And yea he's great, he's not aggressive just moves alot when you hold him. But he doesn't bite. I just got to fatten him up, and get his new cage done before his quarantine is over.

Panacur and Flagyl would be a good thing to hit him with. Panacur for sure. BG would get him eating good first though. Take a good look at your fingers...you may not have them much longer.

Definitely go for the two dewormers BG listed, those work pretty well.

Croc Monitors are defintiely awesome, I love their heads. Good luck with this guy, he is a good looking lizard!

Yea. I for sure gotta fatten him up. he ate a rat pup when i got him, but he ended up regurgitating it. But yesterday he ate another rat pup and so far he's holding it down. As of now he's not a bitter, but then again he's a bit skinny.
Maybe he'll get aggressive when he fattens up and gets more energy (but I hope not). And thanks again for the comments. I would never have thought in a million years I would have a croc monitor. lol

Alrite, I got a very important question. I got the croc on sunday, I fed him a rat pup and he ate it on his own. Then monday I saw he had threw it up, so I gave him another one and he ate it and held it down. Now this morning i threw another rat pup in there and left him alone and when I checked again he had eaten it.

And now I went to check on him again and he had thrown up one of the rat pups I fed him. My question is what would cause him to keep throwing them up? So far from the 3 rat pups I fed him one is still in him. Could it be the size of the rat or that he is still a little stressed out or can he have a worm in him thats makeing him throw up.

Thanks in advance for the input guys, i really appreciate it.
