The most recent set up (actually the only one ive ever seen on his show, so im assuming is the one you guys are talking about) for his night nile monitor project wasnt bad for the size the animals were at. He can use screen cages (its not actually screen, but pvc coated mesh, but i digress) for his monitors for the same reason he can use the screen covered freedom breeder racks. His shop is temperature and humidity controlled. Now im not a fan of how barren the setup I saw was, monitors are too smart to not have an enriching captive environment, but that was my only nitpick on that setup.

So what exactly are you guys griping about?

My gripe is that NO those screen cages are not ok for Monitors of any size (regardless of being in a temp controlled room), Blueys do not belong in racks and IMO neither do leos or beardies. Monitors, Tegus, Blueys are all very intelligent species and they need room to explore. I'm so tired of people saying bare minimum husbandry is ok because its a "high yield" breeding facility. Husbandry doesn't get a pass because they are breeders, and I am not just targeting him at this point. Lizards explore, they don't sit in burrows all day, they cover a lot more ground in a day then snakes, esp monitors, none of them belong in racks.
