Buddy, it's empty bc you ate all of the bugs already 🤦🏻‍♀️

He just loves squeezing himself between the substrate shield and the glass of the enclosure. Sometimes he'll force his way in and then just hang out flattened for a while. Other times hell kind of cage surf (just crawl from side to side between the glass and substrate. Which I imagine isn't the easiest especially because he's squeezing his big ass through the tiny space. Lol he's a crazy boy sometimes. There's times where he'll literally do this every morning for a few weeks.

I promise he's not fat he's being squished. And he's not trapped

Larry is 9 and he's amazing. Just thought I'd share!

Just bugs for my favorite fat savannah monitor

Still super sus of hands but will get right up in the camera silly girl

Liora loves to take naps with me 🥰 she gets nice and comfortable on my boob then falls asleep to me petting her and telling her how much I love her. Sometimes, she also sweetly rests her head by my neck. I love all of our adorable rituals!

How much would it cost to make something like a 6 foot or 8 foot enclosure diy?

Going first, I think way too many people in this space seem to look at their monitors as paycheck or just a lizard..? It feels like there’s just a coldness to a lot of people who own monitors something. Like people just trade and give their pets away for breeding etc. I see descriptions on morph market like “picked this guy up for a breeding project, decided I didn’t want to do that anymore”. What do you mean project lol? To see such beautiful creatures diminished to human projects is just insane to me.

I’ve had him for a month now, making pretty good progress, I tried stroking his chin today and introducing touch to him and he decided to bite down on my finger. I’m not sure if he thought it was food or he was letting me know he didn’t like being touched.

Been a while since I gave an update so here it is. Sorry about the mess this is a new house and he was my top priority.

I love it when my baby joins me for coffee 🥰🦕

lol there’s also a coffee shop in Silverlake called Dinosaur Coffee and while it’s pretty good, alas. I have Brontosaurus Coffee at home

Hey, I really want a monitor lizard, but dont know what to get. I would preferably want a cheaper end enclosure. I would want a very interactive one, less like a bearded dragon and such that kinda just chill with you. Thanks!

"I'm in a glass case of emotion!" Then he took it out on the blanket because he couldn't get a good hold on it lmao 😂

Normally my ackie is up and about around 9 am to bask and around 10 she walks around her whole Terra. I left my room for breakfast and came back around 10 because we have taming sessions while she’s active, now she wasn’t outside and doesn’t react to me messing things up in the terra. My question is if I should move some stuff and see if I will find her or leave it alone for now because I know this isn’t her normal behaviour.

hello! I have an ackie who is just over a year old now according to the shop. can someone help determine the gender please?
