Water monitor regurge :(

[JLuck13]

My guess is someone/something disturbed him while you were at school.

I had a water that, while he was small, had to have the front of the enclosure covered or he would regurg.

Get him out of the "tank" ASAP, and get him a more secure, larger environment. He's gonna outgrow that before you get one built IMO., and his stress levels won't improve as long as he's in there.

Is there any way that my dog barking from the room over could have spooked him enough to gurge?


im already working on building an enclosure for him. its 6 1/2x4 1/2x 4 1/2 the tank he is in is 5x2x2 though, and has 3 sides and the top completely covered

...................... Could be a security or parasite issue since your temps seem to be fine. Any full enclosure shots?

P.S. Why the heat pad for the soil?

ill get some shots tonight when i get home from work. The heat pad is because i like to keep my room freezing at night/during the day (windows open, cuz im one of those people that is sweating when im in the snow in shorts and a t shirt) and the first time i took temps in the substrate it was in the low 70* so i threw some flexwat under it on a spare thermostat i had under it to keep it nice and warm for when he burrows. He seemed to like it and now i dont have to worry about anything
