Hey I recently bought this guy online but he’s smaller than I thought. I built a custom plywood enclosure that mesures 17”x30”x17” and im just wondering is it’s to big for it. The ackie is about 8”

Update on my baby mangrove, so far he or she that I’ve tried so far will only eat silversides fish, now trying Dubai Roaches, wax worms, and mealworms. I have tried pinkies & shrimp, still no luck. Picky as hell that’s fs😂 All recommendations are appreciated.

I’ve become a little worried about my ackie. She recently sticks to the cold side a lot although temps and humidity are fine. It sits around 55c basking, 32c ambient hot side, and 28c cool side. Humidity is around 40-50%. She may be overweight. What can I do??

So I have a savannah monitor and he is in deep shed is normal for him to go off eating

Here's a sign that I chose the right vet. That's 18 (or 19) year old Mr. Munchie and his keeper, in for a check-up before Ajax and Angelia.
