Is this a joke.Do you have any sense what so ever? A frickin retarded four year old with no arms could take better care of varanids. I dont mean to be harsh but come on now, you have like 10 monitors of different species all crammed into a 20 gallon tank. Its because of people like you that give monitor keepers a bad name and why so many monitors are left with no homes.And is that a crocodile monitor i see in the other pic, now for the money you spent on that you could have at least built a bigger cage! Please have some sense and at least seperate them and get a bigger cage. Or sell them on here in the classifieds or even in the newspaper.I think every one on here agrees with me.
p.s. I dont like you.

I agree with lizardkidd. I live in FL and it is starting to become harder and harder to own monitors and large snakes. Starting in Jan 08 we have to have a liscense and the animal now has to be microchipped which I think all owners should do if they really want these animals its $50 tops You need to do research on the animal you have there also the croc needs more room and climbing space and the others if I knew what they were I could help you out. Me and my family have been doing reptile rescue for many years and have seen instances like this before. Overcrowded monitors and other lizards kept in small setups whihc not only stresses the animal, it shortens their life span, and causes aggression too. It is not right to overcrowd an animal how would you like to be in a 4 sided room, with a whole bunch of people. Im not saying you dont know anything at all but your actions are stupid. For one thing if you can buy a croc monitor you can definetly provide cages for the others. Start off by providing the right set-ups for each individual animal that means to seperate them, from there if you want to have them interact together then do so by taking them out not having them live in a box. I used to take my nile and blackroughneck out together all the time they got along fine but I woudl never house them together. Many monitors have different requirements compared to others in their species. So first seperate them with the appropiate cages and do research or you will have stressed monitors. This is very inhumane.
