  • In this desert simulation we have life thriving until the anole geckos joined the ecosystem. They ate everything that moved. My nile Monitor loves this enclosure but will out grow it in about 6 months. I'll have to make a Big Monitor enclosure inside my house for her.

      @MrHillbilly  Рік тому

      Yeah so depending on the size of tank you will need
      1-2 cans black spray foam (lowes or Amazon)
      2-2 in foam board (lowes)
      3-drylok basement paint( ace hardware)
      4-cement dye (lowes)
      5-planters usually come with plants
      6- small water pump
      7- pice of plexi glass to seperate land from water
      8- 100% silicone. Get the odor free one in black or brown it drys faster and doesn’t have a strong smell.
      Hope this helps.

      If you're getting any monitor, you really need to research the specific animal. Nile monitors get very big and aren't a beginner friendly animal at all. They live in the same area with lions and other dangerous predators, they will have no issues with coming at you.
