woot... first to post....

my house got many local species.... have 1 last time... wild pet... i feed em meat everyday when come my house..

hard to maintain..i think

yeah some of them are WC....they need large cage n oso the feeding is expensive...


Dear Mod, can u please joint the 2 thread together...i mistakenly post twice

no need to feed them everyday one and from what i know they are scavengers in nature if i am not mistaken.

I dont agree with your above statement !! They are scavenger in nature BUT animals in wild do not live as long due to eating non-fresh food ( full of nasty stuff )

max-oasism - I thought you trying to convince your fren that feeding street rats to his snake is no good and now you commenting that we do not need to feed fresh food to our other pets ie monitor lizard in this case

"no need to feed them everyday one and no need to feed them with fresh food if i am not mistaken."

well in nature i know that they are scavenging creature thats why i said 'if i am not mistaken', which also means i am doubt about feed them with not fresh food in captive caring.

well i might be need to rephrase it, i didnt mean that way. well, snake are not scavenging but monitor are, so that makes me have the idea but not the suggestion.

i rephrase the statement, sorry dont know it will confuse people. and thanks sam for reminding...

for what i read, they should have the strong saliva to break down the food if i am not mistaken.

anyway, its not suggestion.

Dumeril's Monitor lizard Can be found locally BUT protected and rare in the wild

Blue Magic Tree Monitor macraei Only in Indonesia

thanks for the facts.
so you mean that there is no premise for enthusiast to get dumeril's monitor lizard?
if its the case, sayang lah....

i suppose that we can get blue magic kua with premise?

If some entity can import them in from say US or ......etc one can always apply for premise / permit to keep !!!

Or just go into hutan and find one , try catch and keep it ( but keep very quiet about it ) they are local sp after all

But you do know that the Dumeril's will lose the bright orange colour around the head as it get bigger !!! Dont you

what is the smallest species common in the pet trade?

wow.... whats with the expression?
i haven't do my study about them, years ago i do read about them.
hope to have DML and MB.
not now but in years that will come...

I prefer not to talk out of my arse. Period.

Are you going to add more info on these varanids later Genesis?

Genesisnation

Just pictures ? By the way which are yours , both present and ex-pets ??

i just want to share some varanids species with u guys, as currently i dun keep monitors anymore due to work commitment n also legal issues.

those picture i posted are all taken from the net. Just to share. N also love to listen to some monitor keepers experience on certain species...

Last time I kept Blue magic, prasinus, savana, salvator and indicus. Some of them wildcaught, some of them bought from sellers. They are fun to watch. Especially when they feed, I like monitors because they are like living dinosaurs...in their movement, behavior n appearance....



from wat i know, it is varanus acanthurus, they called it ackie monitor. got 2 types. red and yellow. from aussie. thts the lizard i dream to have.

i try my best to post some info as varanids caresheet is not as much as those lpg n beardies.

OK just thought that you might still have some

Ya , Legal issues is the main problem !!!

yeah man, if i have the zoo permit and a piece of land. I might keep all the varanids under one roof...haha
