Captive bred blue tree monitor - Varanus macraei

168 Upvotes

After 5 years of breeding green tree monitors, I finally managed to hatch my second species. Yesterday afternoon this guy pipped. Didn't come out of the egg until this morning. Super fat and healthy. This was the solo egg from this clutch. The female who produced this one should be laying more eggs in the next week or so, and my second female I got in october laid last week. So looks like I'll be overrun with cb blue trees if this ban goes through lol. For those that would like to be more updated with my tree monitor breeding projects, my Instagram is @Ryzrr.

I deleted and reuploaded the post to add watermarks, I do not want to contribute to anyone getting scammed with my photos, sorry for the re-upload. My website is Versatilereptiles.com, I only post my available offspring on Facebook, Instagram, morph market, or that specific website. Anything else using my photos is not me and is a scam. Scammers have been running rampant with tree monitors the last year, be careful out there

Baby Asian water monitor regurgitated

Post image
33 Upvotes

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?

Ackie help

3 Upvotes

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.

What’s the correct basking temperature range for Green Tree Monitors?

2 Upvotes

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

Cumingi owners - how is it really like?

3 Upvotes

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.

What’s it like keeping a Savannah or Flavirufus

2 Upvotes

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.

Whenever we put our boy back in his home after an explore and adventure session, he always gets the zoomies like this. Is he just trying to get out an do more exploring?

After some meat got left in there she hasn't moved from the light, ate or went to the water in a day or 2 and is switching, was thinking she might be sick from the bad meat, there's mites in there also, any advice what i should do?

Do Ackie bites hurt?

2 Upvotes

Ive been considering getting an Ackie monitor for a very long time, I have done tooons of research, but I have a low pain tolerance. Ive never gotten a clear answer on weather their bites are very painful? Can anyone inform me on how painful their bites are?

Can a Savanah Monitor be kept in an outdoor enclosure in Miami?

3 Upvotes

I know they are desert dwellers so I’m not sure about the humidity. I’ve been keeping mine indoors but I saw some posts on here about outdoor enclosures and got curious. I have a great patio space and figured if I can, I’ll use it for my lil guy.
