There are milk moustaches and than there are woodie guts moustaches.
I hope I never find one if these on my kids, I have enough trouble keeping my woodie boxes full.

She may have added a little intestine eye liner also.

Nice little V.glauerti, not a very pronounced tail colour wise however.

Blue Striped Goanna, found near cape Crawford. Believed to be a new species of Varanid discovered by Gunther Schmida.

A picture of my one and only lizard enclosure. It's a 36"L x 24"H x 18"B Exoterra (great for sealing in woodies). I made the background using polystyrene, bottles and bottles of expandafoam, sand, PVA, paint and clear-coat. It's pretty solid, though I wouldn't want to try a bigger, stronger monitor on it...

There's also an underground hide to the left made of slate and rock (liquid nailed together) with a heat coil stuck under the tank so he can brumate during winter. The grasses are kept alive with a 50/50 daylight/plant growth compact fluorescent.

OK I dunno why the photos didn't attach, apparently they are unsupported or something. Will try and get any photos soon

Hey guys. Here is a pic of one of my Spencer's Monitors I just acquired. I have 2 that are about 3 months old. Amazing "little" monitors (right now). I know they get big so I am planning their adult caging now. I was wondering what size in metres the caging would need to be if I would house the two together? Also bearing in mind I am in NSW and have the minimum enclosure/cage size to adhere to.

edit: Have found out that 3m x 1.5m will meet the code for 2 spencers or any floor dimensions that meet 4.32m2 or more will be suffice.
Was now wondering if housing the two in the above size enclosure as adults should I have two separate basking spots for each animal or will they get by with just one basking spot?

so extremely jealous, looking at getting one of these guys or a mertens

Give them as much room as you possibly can, monitors are very active & those terrestrial species like spenceri will use as much floor space as you give them. One large basking spot (that easily covers the full SVL, you may need several globes in a row) at one end of the enclosure will be fine, they'll occasionally just jockey for the best position.

Here's one 5M concrete water tank used for a pair.

Welcome to APS!
Nice looking panoptes' looks like he's living in the reptile hilton, lol. Can I offer a suggestion? Change the red globe for a white, or bright one.

Cheers! Sure thing, open to suggestions. Why the white/bright globe? Need to pick up a mesh bulb cage today also.
