Anyone else love monitor lizards enough to share a room with one? I find them to be the very fun and I love their bad dispositions. I'm seven months in with my Argus, I wanted a Dumeril's but I couldn't find captive bred specimens. I am happy with my Argus but they are just as cranky as a nile! At least mine is out 85% of the time, some indicus species hide most the time. Anyone have any stories or want to share picture of your, this is the thread!

S-someone on /an/ keeping monitors properly? Awesome looking argus, I have a water myself.

When I was fourteen my young savanna escaped me, I mean flew out of my hands and it went straight down into a creek. This Argus, Fiona, is my second attempt 21 years later (35 now). Waited to finish college (still have shitty job, thanks Obama) and here I am again. Max will always be in my heart and I still feel like a dumb ass letting him "get some sun" without a leash.

I would but space is not available for a herp of that size in my apartment. That is a wonderful tank you have built there. Very good stuff.
that tripod standing pose arguses do always cracks me up.
I've always wanted to get an Argentine tegu but I just don't have the space for one right now and I certainly don't have the budget to handle their care appropriately at the moment. Maybe when I finally get a farm going and have a good source of fresh meat available all the time.
I'm currently looking for a pair of Beccarii and, as soon as I get enough space, I'll buy them.
Really awesome animals.

That's a fucking sick set up. Nice job OP. Have any other pictures or more set ups?
Moar lizzerds.
Always loved the look, size, and international site of monitors but they just seem like assholes so I never bothered with em

I need to get more money so I can make this enclosure hold humidity better. My builder was tired the day he set it up, and he is family, so I gotta have be careful about requesting needed changes. It needs a larger door and needs to be caulked or something cause the humidity sits at 50%. So, in the mean time I have been running a humidifier a few times a day. brb

Now the little shit can get away from me, which is good, so I have yet to handle her regularly.
