Nile Monitor cage new setup

This set up was around 300-400 but my g/f thinks i spent closer to 500. TY for messages i do have a hide for my nile, i just dont use it during the day so she gets used to my girl and i. since my first vid she has bitten my girl once and whipped me once, and we did scare her.. it was when i was first working on her new cage setup. I know mud and sand is good but i wasnt sure how the fish tank would be with all the mud and sand in it. will update new video and new additions to cage in 2weeks..... btw no need to clean up the fish filter does it for me!!

is this okay for a baby water monitor???

[RepNileMonitor]

@TheKboy123 very ok.. but i would suggest at least a 100gallon, it should last you at least a year

i bought a 120 gallon for 100 bucks in Vegas

@RepNileMonitor thanks for the tip....i have one more question how do keep the water warm???

[RepNileMonitor]

@TheKboy123 i dont, you dont need to, but those 150 watt lamps keep it at a room temperature

the setup is sick but it's your monitor you do what you want with it. As long as he/she is getting big, shedding regularly, pooping, and eating keep doing your thing man. If you kno you doing right by your nile brush shoulders off.

@twangfk very much appreciated, its like i tell others, "no one can raise your kids better than you can"

If i were you i add dirt somehow and a hide abd some branches acros the tank

[abberlineandxero]

that set up is far too small, they grow very quick. i have a nile myself and she is in a much larger viv with a larger pool. also agree they need dirt to dig in and hidey holes. i've been keeping monitors for 10 years now and would'nt put them in something that small. i'm not having a go just trying to help

@TheKboy123 i think they are cause i live in Oregon and they sell Nile Monitors at the pet shop near my house

[narutofroever]

@RepNileMonitor I like that statement it makes me feel better about myself lol because no one can raise my reptiles better than I can

awful setup, monitors need dirt to dig in. and also places to hide.
