Thanks! Well, this aint my first rodeo. He’s the first monitor i have personally owned, but not the first one ive ever cared for. I have been in this hobby for over 20 years, and while i dont generally post on forums much, i do read quite a few regularly and always put as much research as possible into my animals. I still research animals i have had for 10 years.

When i started back in 1990, there wasnt a whole lot of info available on a variety of animals that are quite common now. New information is always popping up and i think its crucial to keep researching. Always.

One thing I always strive for is Quality, its the main reason I keep my collection relatively low. I have a good majority of my time occupied with the ones I have, plus work and school. Couldnt imagine having dozens of animals to care for.

I also have a pre-established Dubia colony that i started a couple years ago for my beardies, so he has plenty of food on hand, and I am supplimenting with night crawlers and crickets, with a Hisser colony in the works as well. I MAY add in a pinky or some meat as a rare treat. I would like to add snails, but am unsure as to where to get them. any help would be appreciated.
