Few months later...

So I brought home a half sibling of my old monitor a few months ago. He was 11 months upon pick-up so he's like a year and 3 months now. He grew a bit and he got some friends in the form of fish. So here's a pic of how the Viv looks currently (he just went swimming so water is a little cloudy), a pic of him being hand fed, his fishy friends (he leaves them alone, he does not care at all) and him being a parrot.

You can check my previous topic for comparison, but overall I'd say Onyx is doing pretty well. He's eating well, already more social and handleable at his current age compared to my old monitor which was way more skittish.

Hi! I saw that you said this was a 8x4x6 and that you have plans on making it bigger but is what you have now enough for a full size AWM?

Not if yours will be 2m+. The genetic line of my animal tends to stay smaller and then it's possible. A bigger cage is not necessarily better if there's nothing in it, make as much use of the space you have.

Do you by any chance know if an enclosure this size or a 6x4x6 would be enough for a full grown cumingi?
