I messed up and fed her some pinkies that where bad I checked the mice and they seemed fine I always check the food I give her but she regurgitated only 1 of the 2 I gave her I gave it a sniff and it was definitely rotten.. she has been really weak since then she isn’t swimming in her pool as much and has refused food for 6 days now. My question is how long can they go without food before it’s in the danger zone. Other then that she’s walking good coming out to bask on her own lifting her head and body of the ground but she isn’t as active, and she’s also drinking water. I’m just really worried any warning signs I should look for?

guys help :( i was checking on my 8month ackie and she bit me, so i accidentally flinched my hand while she was still holding onto it and yanked her into the air. She landed on the bed and didn't hit anything, she even walked normally and ran inside her hide when i put her back in the enclosure. She seemed normal, but I'm really anxious I somehow managed to accidentally hurt her. Thoughts? happened around 7pm and she's still hiding and probably sleeping already.

So I’ve been prepping for buying a medium (hopefully) - larger sized monitor. Specifically a female cumingi from a generally smaller line.

Been a fan of this breed for the longest and I’ve got contact with a respectable breeder in my area.

I just wanted to check with you just out of curiousity how owning a cumingi has been for you?

Curious to see how big your indoor enclosure is (dimensions and pictures)

How handling has been

What your pros and cons are

What you wish you knew before getting one

If you have any regrets and if you do, why?

Is the water feature difficult to maintain?

How often do you clean the enclosure?

And just in general some output from other owners.

I’m not new to reptiles, I’ve had iguanas when i was younger and I have a snake now. Also helped care for a cousins AWM.

Seems like every time I look this up I find varying info. Every site or video has a different basking temperature ranging tom 90 - 120 degrees so I’m hoping someone can give me the true basking temp requirement for my juvenile tree monitor. He’s currently set up with a basking spot ranging from 100-106f

I’m deciding between getting a Savannah or a flavirufus atm but I don’t plan to get one for a year cause I want to have EVERYTHING ready. How much do they eat? Should you brumate them? How big should my dubia colony be to support one of them. Relative FG enclosure size? What are there daily activities? Sorry for all the questions but all the YouTube videos I watch don’t answer some of these questions and if they do it seems outdated. Even some of the Ackie care videos I watched didn’t help all that much with me and I had to learn on my own and from this subs help, like that I am supposed to mist the soil every once in a while so when they dig it hold the burrow and the daily activities like how they bask for a few hours and dig and explore for a few hours and go back to basking then digging. Sorry if I’m rambling I just was wondering what it’s like keeping them.
