1-minpin "AJ"
1-mangrove monitor "slasher"
1-parrot
2-childlike animals "Kayla and Chloe"
1-nano with "princess" the cleaner shrimp
used to have a eight foot columbian red tail boa, a camelion, a savanna monitor, a parakeet, a small turtle, and felix the cat.
I never intended to have a zoo for a house, my husband would just keep bring them home :mad: Finally I convinced him it was to much.
The cat was always eyeing the fish and birds, the dog was always chasing the cat and eyeing the bird, the boa was eyeing the dog and cat.
I gave the snake and cat to realatives, monitor and turtle went to a pet store, sold camelion, and poor parkeet r.i.p.

My boyfriend works at a Pet store, so we get discounts on animal supplies.. i send a lil "pet supplies" list to work with him just about every day. i had a crap load of pictures of my animals on my old computer, but it recently crashed and i havent hooked up the webcam to this one yet. i will try to get around to it and will gladly post pictures... 3 of the horses are broke - except the stud. He is my baby though.. :yes:

My monitor book says Mangroves will eat anything that moves but should be fed rodents chicks cooked lean meat crabs or commercial monitor food I don't have a mangrove but my Savanna will eat anything I have fed him chicks fish rats canned dog food and dry dog food and pieces of leftover steak and hamburger I just try not to give him alot of any one thing when he was lil I fed him mostly dusted crickets pinkies and anole lizards he is four years old now and has run of my bedroom unless I have "Company"
I soak him in warm water for about a hour twice a week this is when he defecates and I have to change the water I know he is a desert lizard but he loves his bathes he will actually climb in his tub when it's time :D

Sorry everone for going off subject. If you want me to open a new thread just say so I will :D
ok we haven't had ours for too long about four months. We give him baths also he loves it. he was rasied in captivity. My husband got him from a lfs where his prior owner sold him back.Right now he eats mostly mice. He is quite big I would say over a his body is over or about nine inches and his tail is pretty long. I was browsing the net, and a couple websites said in the wild they eat eggs, fish, squid, rodents, small birds, and insects. Now what I would like to do is keep this guy healthy,and try to give a variety of food and make sure he stays in good health and lives a long happy life. What kind of dog food do you feed them? what kind of fish do you feed them are they alive? Do you just put them in a bowl or something? And how do you give yours vitamins? Also where do you find chicks?

You should only feed them a small amount of a high quality dog food, to add wieght to a sick monitor or just as an occasional treat. Mine loves crickets.. he also eat mealworms, wax worms and mice.I dust the insects with Flukers vitamins, and a 2:1 phosphorus ratio calcium. I havent tried feeding him too many other things. Mine was given to me almost dead by someone who didnt know how to take care of it properly. it develeoped rickets in all of his legs, wich is from a calcium defeciency. he also did not have UV and little, to no heat. He was limp and wouldent eat.. you know sometin is wrong with a monitor that wont eat.. He's been eating like crazy, and he can somewhat use his feet..

I don't mind these questions on this post I feed slurpee boiled eggs shell and all he loves them I put his vitamins in the egg he never knows at first I broke the eggs in half
now he doesn't give me a chance :yes: and I fed him goldfish and frogs from my dads pond when he was lil now when I go frog gigging I will bring him one home I did dust his food when he was lil but my vet said as long as he gets a varied diet with bones and or eggshell his calcium levels should be fine ( I hate to hear about monitors with owners who cannot care for them at least he has a good home now :yes: ) I feed everything I can alive no real reason I just think he needs to be able to catch his food just my opinion though I do knock the rats out on something hard so they don't bite him everywhere though he usually grabs them by the mouth I get baby chicks from the local feed store I can watch him eat everthing but those chicks I just feed them and leave (I raised chicks when I was in school) He has a cage outside so he gets all the sun he needs and he has full run of my bedroom when he is inside and he knows just where the sun shines through the window he also has a UV lamp by his heatrock he stays by both most of the winter time Anyways I know I kinda drug it out and sweetpup pretty much explained it I am a man and must say my two cents
and I remember him being nine inches long take pics he won't be that way for long
