thanks dude! was working on a more professional edited video with a lot of updated builds at once, but my pc died on me and I lost a lot of the footage. a lot has changed in the year since I made this one
I would love to see more of the nitty gritty of how to care for them. I am thinking of geting one but know little about things like how often to feed, how to incorperate enough variety in diet, how often you have to clean the cages, how much damage the lisards do by just climbing around. Thanks for this video!
Love the video, would be cool to see feedings and even just general maintenance. I don’t get to see videos of that many different tree monitor species. I’ll watch whatever I can get!
2 times a day, 3 times a day in the winter. eg: if lights come on at 8am, first mist is at 9am for 60-90 seconds, mists again around noon for same duration. in winter I'll have it mist again around 4 because I live in nebraska and it gets really dry here
NICE TO SEE HOW CALM THE BABIES ARE WITH YOU .IM CURIOUS DID YOU HANDLE THEM REGULARLY SINCE HATCHING ,ITS A GREAT START FOR SOMEONE THAT WOULD LIKE ONE THAT THEY CAN INTERACT WITH MAKES THE JOB A BIT EASIER .THE ENCLOSUES LOOK GREAT ,PLASNTS WOULD BE NICE BUT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE PROVIDED ALOTOF PLACES FOR THEM TO HIDE IF THEY FEELTHE NEED
If you guys have any suggestions for content you would like to see involving the tree monitors feel free to drop it here, now that I'm not so crazy busy I should be able to post more. Open to ideas
I can when I have more hatch, yeah. Imo a lot of it comes down to the first 3 -5 days that it's out of the egg. So wild caught or bought animals will not be as easy
Really nice job man! Honestly your enclosures look nicer than the AP. The interiors are amazing. Are you using UVB or just halogens? Have you thought of using a thermostat controlled exhaust fan system?
So the substrate dam (lower lip of the enclosure) is 10 inches. Currently about 8 inches of substrate. I would pull all of the bedding out, put probably 2-3 inches of hydroballs/clay balls whatever you want to call them, followed by the mesh garden liner, and probably 6 inches of substrate back on that, or all of the substrate and just slope it towards the back to keep it out of the door track as much as possible
Love the video, so love your input. Always kept snakes but leaning more and more towards monitors or iguanas. But need advice have this wonderful enclosure. 6 x 2 1/2 x 5 1/2. With a 200 gallon aquarium (another passion). Would tree monitors leave fish alone or?
how much of the bottom does the aquarium take up? they might leave the fish alone. they might eat them. never know. the issue could definitely be making sure they have a way out of the water if they were to jump or fall in.
@Junglecp I definitely would not do full water bottom with tree monitors. Like 1/4th of the enclosure wouldn't be terrible but full bottom being water could lead to issues. I have had tree monitors get bacterial infections from being wet too often.
@Junglecp I would always give any monitor at least some area of land. Substrate is still good enrichment and will be need for nesting eventually if it's a female
Wild ones are best left in the wild than kept as a pet even though they are super cool and you do have a good enclosure for them but if you get what I mean they have more room in the wild
Hey ive been looking for ways to contact and I’m interested in some green tree monitors if you have or still do your thing on breeding ! Just curious!!!! Sorry to be nosey 🥺🤣 I hope you’re doing well and you should upload again!
Hey but I did all my research and have my enclosure All set up. Would you know where I could possibly get a baby blue tree monitor i've been having trouble for the past six months trying to find one.
They usually don't thankfully, but I just have a large spray bottle that I can pump to a pretty high pressure. Will take anything off of cork haha. But yeah I've never seen them go inside a tube
@@Ryzrr I know im really late to this but where do you buy your enclosures? Ive been searching for a good size enclosure for a blue tree but just cant find anything online
Don't know who you are, but I think you're doing a great job with your monitors BIG DOGGIE 💯👣 I love monitors even though I only have crested geckos BIG DOGGIE 💯👣 I have to ease my girl into them, because she's afraid BIG DOGGIE 💯👣 But I do plan on getting some within 2 to 3yrs from now BIG DOGGIE 💯👣 I usually watch a channel for 6 months to a year before I subscribe, but I subscribe halfway into this video BIG DOGGIE 💯👣 I think your monitors are beautiful, and I love how they are with you BIG DOGGIE 💯👣 So I can't wait to learn all I can from watching your videos BIG DOGGIE 💯👣
I’m not saying this to judge or accuse anyone of anything, but if there is anyway not to buy wild, caught, don’t not only are you committing to taking care of an animal that has a higher possibility of coming to you in need of urgent care you’re also promoting people taking them out of the wild where they belong. Trust me I get it I want one of these. but if it means buying one that was ripped out of its living room by a dude looking for Hey payday, I just can’t bring myself to do that, and I understand with some of these reptiles, especially these ones that are new to the reptile trade readers haven’t had the opportunity to build up their production
@BornTwinkie this just reads like you're clueless. Tree monitors are not new to the trade they've been around since the 80s and 90s. And the importing of them isn't going to stop because a few people stopped buying them. Catching reptiles is some of the only sources of income people in these areas have. They will not stop doing it because they have nothing else. There is also ways of ethically sourcing wild caught animals and exporting them.
@@Ryzrr there is absolutely no reason to rip an animal out of the wild just so you can put it in a box in your living room. I really couldn’t care if it is the only source of income to the people in these areas we are human beings. We can move and survive anywhere on planet earth. These animals cannot it’s just like diamond mining in Africa. It is destroying the natural balance in the wild all for people selfish desires I was attempting to be nice I do not own one of these and saying it’s not new just because it was around in the 90s people have been keeping ball pythons and bearded dragon since the 20s bro the 90s isn’t that far away it takes a long time to get a breeding population of reptiles. For an entire country of people that want them
@@Ryzrr them being around since the 90s isn’t long savanna monitors live longer in the wild than they did in captivity for the first decade of them being kept. And look at New Caledonia crested geckos, and gargoyle geckos are endangered in the wild, because people took them from their natural habitat
@@Ryzrr as I said, I want to get some of these in the future and you know a few people isn’t gonna make a difference when it comes to the sale of wild animals in the pet trade, but if the majority of us as a hobby, say no, I’m gonna wait until breeders get their things together then it will no longer be lucrative for them to do this and it’s not even about leaving a healthy population in a while. When you receive a wildcard animal guess what it’s gonna have parasites most normal people can’t afford the exotic pet vet bills that are going to come when they get their animal. And I’m not somebody who just enjoys watching an animal I paid $1000 for slowly die in a glass box because I can’t do the things that are necessary to keep it alive or to treat it for its illnesses
@@Ryzrr And I’m not the only one with this sentiment there are many keepers, zoologist and herpetologist on RU-vid that say do not get wild cot reptiles unless you are a experienced keeper that is ready to take on all the extra things that getting one of these animals brings they almost always say, if there is Any other way not to get wildcat don’t even if you have to spend more money because that often times what the excuses is wild caught Animals are cheaper.
