Timor monitor questions
I was thinking about getting a timor monitor i did a little reading on it and it seems like a better idea to get one of these than a savannah monitor. So what i was wondering How big should the enclsoure be? What should the basking and humidity temps be, And what should i use for substrate? Also How is their temperment will i be able to hold it or is it going to be super skittish what should i look forword to. I wont get it for awhile so im going to build the enclsoure first so id also like to get some enclsoure ideas.If there are any other monitors out there that stay kind medium and are like 200$ and under i will be willing to learn a bit about it. Im really looking forword to getting a monitor and id like to get all the help i can get.
Thanks for reading..

Re: Timor monitor questions
It might help to have you tell us what made you decide on a Timor. We're there specific things you read about them that appealed to you? Was it something as simple as size or appearance? What is it you really want out of keeping this animal? Also things like how large an area do you have for an enclosure? What is your experience level? This will help us with a suggestion that fits you better.

It wasthe size and appearance, I really want just to have a active monitor that can be taken out and handled on a regular basis like 1-2 times a week maybe more. I want to be able to take it on a walk thats just something id want to try if i got a monitor iv always just wanted to see peoples faces. Iv only kept a bearded dragon that i have now but im good at paying attention and i usually write down or save all the info i get and read over alot. I know quite a bit about savannah monitors iv wrote down acouple care sheets and read over them alot.

Re: Timor monitor questions
Do. It. Up.
Make sure you take it somewhere public where you can use it to freak people out or better yet it freaks out and bites someone. Then they can come and destroy it and add varanids to the ban. Sounds awesome.

Re: Timor monitor questions
Because your statement of "I want to see people's faces" comes of as "I want a monitor cause ill be cool and people will be like wow he has a monitor and they'll give me lots of attention" which isn't the reason any reptile or pet should be bought.

yeah who wouldnt i mean it isnt the only reason i want one i just want to if i can. I want a monitor because i just love monitors and i love lizards in general and i actually can house this monitor good and i think it is a good choice for me because i have tons of time to devote to it i go to online school so im home like all the time. I have colonies of crickets super worms and dubia roaches and im going to get started on hissing cockaroaches.

I find no pleasure nor humour in trespassing.
Sorry, usually I catch people mud bogging in my frog sanctuaries. So it's rather nasty when it happens.
