what monitors can you keep outside without heat in QLD
any help would be great thanks.
is there any specific monitor your talking about..or just in general?..depends where abouts in qld!..but most of the larger species of monitors would do well outdoors,lacey's,goulds,mertens,spencers etc ....... not to sure about the smaller species tho! i have never kept any,
cheers.
Monitors have varying requirements, there is no simple answer to your question. I wouldnt keep anyting that comes from a considerably warmer climate in Brisbane(if thats what you mean by southside?) without provding extra heat atleast in cold times or if the goanna doesnt always have access to full sun. You need to take into account the general conditions of where they come from. For example i suspect a Darwin locale yellow spotted monitor would have much less tolerance to cold than one from the Stanthorpe area, yet still the same species.
Laceys are probably the best suited to be kept in outside in Brissy. Most other species arnt that well suited to our climate and require some careful thought in the planning of their enclosure, which is likely to involve heating.
