DUDE!!! This is unreal. You are a magician with your cage builds. So intuitive. That was a schooling right there. So creative and your animals are all thriving. Well done man.
WOW absolutely amazing great job thanks for giving a tour of the facility you have some awesome animals in your collection top notch my friend looking forward to seeing more content
Wowiee this was a awesome tour video!!!! 👍😁🦎❤️ very inspiring set ups Mike you your son and daughter did an amazing job everything was so neat and creative I love it ! I just got a Savannah monitor named sage 💚 but someday I do want to have more types of monitors they are beautiful reptiles 😁
Great video I’m getting a pair of red ackies this weekend at the hamburg reptile show I have a pair of hopefully baby peach throats. I know John form sims he’s always at the show great guy
Cheers all the way from Australia. I have been listening to you on a couple podcasts/videos and it was great to see the full room tour and put everything into perspective that you have talked about in the past.
Beautiful. Great idea with stacking the 40b for the caiman lizard. I’m looking into getting a caiman lizard and I might do this. Subscribed. Keep the content coming!
Awesom collection !!!! You should do a video on how to setup a draining system?? Been wanting to do that since I have a savannah monitor that loves pooping in his water lol
Oh heck! I just watched you when Dave visited you. I just fell in love with you! I'm an old biker babe from way back in the East Bay/ Oakland Livermore and... all over! Thank you for the invitation. I'm you're new super fan. Where did you find that glorious creature that was hatching??? Most fabulous reptile I've ever seen... better than NERD or Clint or Chandler.? You win hands down. Oh I have a UA-cam crush on you 😎
Richard, sounds like your a Believer?!? If so and even if not, don't idolize me Bro. I'm just a Blessed Man with a passion. Focus on The Lord Jesus, he will make your paths straight!! I do appreciate the kind words!
Wow mike what a collection you got there, super impressive. Just joined your channel cant wait for more content. Question, do you feed your ackies grasshoppers? Heard you say you hate crickets. Who was the grasshopper breeder you were recommending? Thanks man great video.
Hey Mike I am a huge fan of yours. I am going to purchase a pair of Kimberley rock monitors. But I only haven’t yet because I can’t get an accurate answer on the humidity level for them. And I wanted a professional opinion. What should I keep the humidity at . .?
@@MostlyMonitorMad new walk in Enclosures for the 5 Sulphurs I recently got. Plus a few other things I've been working on. I will post an updated room tour when finished.
If you've kept ackie monitors, pilbara and kimberley rock monitors, timor monitors and savannah monitors, would merten's water monitors be a good next monitor species?
God you are a talented artist zoopoxy it's like your favorite stuff to play with isn't it? I'm just flattered as hell that you made a comment on my comment about your comment. I just watched Dave's interview with you a couple days ago and I was like "yeah I've got to get to meet this guy." Only I'm in Washington State you're like a million miles from here. Are you having a heatwave? Washington State just had its record-breaking triple-digit June day in history. I almost turned into a piece of lizard food. The sun was so hot it hurt my skin. And I'm very Olive complected I tan really well but oh my God no human being should have to live in that. And I remember asking if 145° was normal for a basking temperature and I was told yes it is. Okay I'm leaving now bye
Hey you have an amazing set up and absolutely love what you have going on that’s what I’d love to accomplish myself👍👍 I finally got a pair of Savannah monitors to breed and got 3 clutches of eggs so far 85eggs in total. Is there any chance I could give you one or two I want them to go to people that will eventually breed them so that they aren’t taken from the wild anymore. And would love to make friends with another monitor person, it’s been hell trying to get help on proper incubator temps and all no one would get back to me and ones that did didn’t know because not to many people have even gotten eggs. And as far as I know I’ll be the only one in United States to have captive bred Savannah monitors. Let me know if your interested. Ether way I’m definitely going to follow your channel I love what your doing ✊🏻🤘🏻
I saw this video suggested next to Dave Kauffman but he sucks and I’m not subscribed to his channel but I’m definitely subscribing to channel your channel bc you know and are sure of what your talking about . This guy is a genius
do you have any idea whether there's any U.S. breeding of mitchell's water monitors? I'm pretty sure they're only being sparsely bred in zoos in australia, but correct me if I'm wrong.
could a mertens water monitor and a fly river turtle peacefully coexist? I'm asking because I know that kamp kenan kept his asian water monitor and fly river turtle together for a period of time.
One of the most underrated minds in monitor enclosures
DUDE!!! This is unreal. You are a magician with your cage builds. So intuitive. That was a schooling right there. So creative and your animals are all thriving. Well done man.

Saludos desde Mexico
I’m a huge fan. You should make more videos
Mike awesome job man.
Paul that means a lot to me Thanks!!
Hi Mike awesome stuff! Do you know where I can find a mertens' in the USA?
I’m prepping to get a monitor myself, but there’s no way I can live up to this legend lol.
Which type
U the man mike
Wow mike what a collection you got there, super impressive. Just joined your channel cant wait for more content.
Question, do you feed your ackies grasshoppers? Heard you say you hate crickets. Who was the grasshopper breeder you were recommending? Thanks man great video.
love the barrels!
The enclosures are amaizing. I have 3 tegus.
how do you keep your basement from getting to much moisture/mildew problems?
Hey Mike I am a huge fan of yours. I am going to purchase a pair of Kimberley rock monitors. But I only haven’t yet because I can’t get an accurate answer on the humidity level for them. And I wanted a professional opinion. What should I keep the humidity at . .?
Looks amazing!!!
Thank you!
Awesome tour... You are so lucky to have that much space mate.... Your basement is literally bigger than my whole house! 😵😂
Thank you Brother, I am actually building an addition to the room
@@mikesmonitors1148 Living the dream. New species or more vivs for current?
@@MostlyMonitorMad new walk in Enclosures for the 5 Sulphurs I recently got. Plus a few other things I've been working on. I will post an updated room tour when finished.
@@mikesmonitors1148 Nice! I look forward to seeing
I can't wait to visit your reptile room 😍
It looks amazing!
After the NARBC Bro, we will do it!💪
Would've been fun to see him walk into the monitor room and just have a bunch of computer screens 😂
Lol!!
You da man bro.
Thanks Bro!
Veranis Mercsnthius???🤣😆🙂 what the hell? Oh I want to visually visit
Badass!
Nice ass monitor room🔥🔥🔥. Do you have any savannah monitors..?
Thank you and no, no Savannah Monitors
If you've kept ackie monitors, pilbara and kimberley rock monitors, timor monitors and savannah monitors, would merten's water monitors be a good next monitor species?
Mertensi is a great species when kept properly with a nice big water feature

Check on some of the Monitor FB groups.
@@mikesmonitors1148 definitely will thank you I appreciate it
Can you explain how u connected the to 40 gallons for the Caimen lizard
Tops off both, one upside down on top of the other. Very simple. I can share photos on here. I can on FB
Biggest basement I’ve ever seen in my life btw
I saw this video suggested next to Dave Kauffman but he sucks and I’m not subscribed to his channel but I’m definitely subscribing to channel your channel bc you know and are sure of what your talking about . This guy is a genius
How do grasshoppers compare to crickets in terms of nutrients/chitin?
I no longer use grasshoppers
@@mikesmonitors1148 Thank you for sharing your great work! Why don't you use grasshoppers anymore? Would you still recommend using them?
Where do you get your cork bark from
I get it where ever I can. My Wife is in the pet industry so I have an in!
Where do you get those mega cork rounds?
I buy them from local shows like NARBC
do you have any idea whether there's any U.S. breeding of mitchell's water monitors? I'm pretty sure they're only being sparsely bred in zoos in australia, but correct me if I'm wrong.
None in the States that I know of
How do I get grasshoppers? I can’t find fb page
Try Khai Phan on FB
How handleable would you say varanus pilbarensis are?
Where are you located.
WI/IL border
@@mikesmonitors1148 amazing monitors. I have family in dundee il.
I’m from Wisconsin lol
could a mertens water monitor and a fly river turtle peacefully coexist? I'm asking because I know that kamp kenan kept his asian water monitor and fly river turtle together for a period of time.
I would not do it!
Jealous of all your space lol
Thanks, but as you can see I only have a bit less than half the basement now. My wife was nice enough to let me have that! Lol
