Hey i noticed my water monitor is suddenly bloated and more firm, he has been trying to hold back his puke and he is shaking a little... Can you give me any advice or thoughts as to what this might be.. Did your monitor get better?... Its possible that he swallowed a hair if so how can this be treated? Thx

[MDFMONITOR]

@mudpup37 are you sure it's a male?? & are your temps good, basking spot ect 130/140 adult & 120/130f for a young monitor covering snout to vent. has any insects been gut loaded & dusted?

so many things it could be, more details might help , if he's really ill vets the best option!

Hi man luv ur vids on savs i have a female and shes a sweetheart but still huffs and puffs a bit what techniques would you recommend for more handling i spend about 2 hours a day with her thanks

[MDFMONITOR]

@TheFlip617 I've always let them come to me or lead them to me with food! i use to sit in the cage & let them walk over me, just do it on their terms & you won't go far wrong! :)

goood vid just wanted to ask a few questions iv just got my bosc today and he was very cold so got him warming up now but he hasno white spots at all on his back, he looks like hes about to shed is it because of the shed or just coincidence plus is there anything i can do with out taking him out of his viv to help with the shedding as i want him to get to no his viv and iv read i shouldnt handle him for the first 2 weeks or so , (aside from misting the viv)
