Talking Newbe
Hello everyone NH
I'm getting back into the reptiles.I just picked up a Blue Spotted Temor Monitor.I so want to start working with him.but I'll give him a few days to settle into his new and better environment. Any information would be greatly appreciated. You can never know enough thank you.

Re: Newbe
Welcome, and have you had monitors before and are asking about this specific species or are you new to them?

Re: Newbe
Welcome aboard!
What exactly do you mean by "work with him"? These are a very shy species, and do not tolerate stress well. Force handling him has a decent chance of killing the animal.
It's also worth mentioning that the "blue spot timors" on the market are not timors at all. They are actually a separate species, Varanus auffenbergi, or more commonly known as the Peacock Monitor. If you post up some pictures we can give you a more definitive identification.

Re: Newbe
Hi, can you put a few photos up of the whole enclosure and give details of the conditions? I am NOT asking for pics of the monitor, I agree with what`s been said in respect to them being a very "shy" species in most cases, and I hope you will "work" with the animal at it`s pace, not yours (much time and patience). Thanks!
