Nile monitor care
i hope this helps some people with Niles i love my two and it takes a lot of time with Nile monitor to try to make them be less aggressive

Nile monitors care sheet :
Niles need many Temperatures in the any size enclosure .
they will need it around 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit on the hot side of the enclosure
and 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit on the cool side of the enclosure.
they will need around 120 degrees Fahrenheit for the basking spot
ambient Temperature needs to be around 86 degrees Fahrenheit

Caging:
enclosure needs at least 8' by 6' by 6' for a adult Nile
and a 55 gallon for a baby
the enclosure should be able to hold the temperature and humidity
the big the enclosure the better

Reptile Substrates:
i use dirt sand and rock
give them about 7 - 10 inch's of dirt and sand mix to borrow in
you can use : bark ,soil pesticide free ,Zoo Med Eco Earth Coconut Substrate
Zoo Med Repti Sand, Zoo Med Repti Bark ,best is a of soil and sand and peat moss try to find whats best not what cheapest

Diet:
can be fish egg steak pork chicken rats mouse bullfrogs smaller lizards
i use egg's ,steak ,pork , chicken cut small chucks
small crickets and meal Pinkys works for small Niles dip all foods in reptile calcium

Feeding:
try to use tongs or a plate to feed them.
they learn ware the food comes from so hand feeding is a way to get bit when they get older
also live feed make your Nile monitor more aggressive remember that when your feeding them

Water Bowl:
need to be big enough to soak and swim in for you nile
