    Expensive set up but VERY nice.It's good to see someone that understands the needs of more fragile and enviromentally sensitive lizards.These creatures suffer easily if not set up right.Happy to see a happy lizard!

      I'm now that enclosure for a pair of varanus Gilleni. I sold the horned dragons and I think they are still doing good. for the dwarf monitors I put a plywood top on the exotic Terra to hold the heat in better.

    These look great. Your set up is awesome. I just saw one of these for the first time but the pet store said it hasn't been eating well and they have talked to other stores and they can't keep them alive. Are they very fragile? I have been pretty successful with my Chameleon and also have a baby Bearded. I love the look of these guys!

      The problem with these is that most of them are wild captured wich explains the high mortality

      thanks. I try to do as much research as possible before getting into any species. unfortunately there isn't a lot of info on these guys so I had to dig deep on the Web and it encouraged me to make a better care video than the ones I seen on youtube.

      Make sure you have UVB or they will guaranteed get MBD. Also feed with calcium at least twice a week. If you did both those things, not sure why it got MBD

    Thank you for the information,
    bought a pair of Acanthosaura bitangensis on a fair yesturday.
    Great terra, good advice, might buy a bigger tank sooner or later.
    The bigger the better right?!

    • @bmxking6582
      @bmxking6582  7 років тому +1

      Nhan1one bigger is usually better but harder to hold humidity. if this was a plywood set up sealed with polyurethane I think it would have been way better. it would not let humidity escape so easily and it would hold heat better so the lights could have been lower wattage and wouldn't dry it out so quickly.

      Sydni Noble mine never bit at all, usually you could place them on you and they just chill but like to climb high like on your shoulders or head. in the enclosure it's not unusual to see them in the same spot for a few days.

    • @bmxking6582
      @bmxking6582  8 років тому +1

      that exotic Terra is kinda pricey, but you don't need that large of a set up. I would guess about $500 roughly for a set up like this with a fogger and rain system.

      sorry for the late reply. make sure your humidity is high! have a fecal test done from a vet, almost all of these are wild caught and have worms and parasites.

      I forgot the dome size but they are the large zoo med with a ceramic heat emitter in one and a 75 watt clear regular house bulb. the uvb light is a 36 in zoo med t5 high output fixture with a reptisun 5.0 bulb.

    • @bmxking6582
      @bmxking6582  8 років тому

      walmart, bait shops have them too. I'd personally stay away from "red wigglers" because they have been known to be bad for certain snakes. why chance it.

      @bmxking6582  8 років тому

      sucks because nobody really breeds them, that's why I started the project to begin with. we changed some rooms around and I had to downsize and when I sold them the female was plump and probably full of eggs.

    how do you treat them for parasites?

    • @bmxking6582
      @bmxking6582  7 років тому +3

      The Legend34 gotta get a microscope and a few books on common parasites and worms in reptiles. then you will know what to look for. you can get medications online once you know what they have and what is safe to use for treatment. you also need a scale because most dosages depend on the weight of the animal.
