About Black Throat Monitor's Living Arrangements

"Your monitor is going to get too get bored if you just put it in an empty tank so you are going to want to give him a place to hide; a little half log like this, a good place to hide and he can also climb on it. You're also going to want to give him a water bowl and you are probably going to need give him a bowl of food and we're going to get into that a little bit. Now for your medium size monitors, you can put a grapevine and you can put this in here and they can climb on the grapevine. Or you can give them something large to sit on there. It doesn't have to necessarily have to be natural. You can give them a shoe box and cut a hole in it and your monitor will go and hide inside the shoe box and come out when he needs to. They have fancy water bowls. This is for a larger size enclosure and it looks like rock. You put this water bowl in there and he will come up to it and he will drink. It looks pretty inside your enclosure so you can use almost anything you want to decorate your enclosure. You just have to be careful that your heat lamp doesn't make anything too hot and he's going to need a place to hide and he needs a place to climb, he's going to need water to drink, and every once in a while if he can swim around a little bit that helps too."
