Hello,
just found this forum when I was doing a google search on water monitor info. I just got a new juvenile, maybe a few months old and about a foot long. I was looking for advice from anyone who has this type of lizard or knows about them. I've had monitors before, (all savannah monitors for the past 12 years) and I know how big this water monitor will get. Right now he's in a 20 gallon tank. He's got his water dish, hide box, heat lamp w/ a 100 watt bulb that also does uva/uvb. The place I got him from says they know somebody that builds enclosures so that's what I'll do down the line. Right now in the house we've got the water monitor, a baby savannah in a 40 breeder tank, 2 amazon parrots(1 blue front and 1 blue crown), 2 cockatiels, and a husky. As I said just looking for general info. How fast will he grow, diet advice, handling advice and husbandry.
Thank you in advance.
