Got this new enclosure, mostly glass for my white throat... good ideas to increase heat? I had to cut out a piece of the top to and install a screen to put the double dome (bask/uvb). And have a heating pad on the back side... not enough. Suggestions?5yr ⋅ solecito_suavecito ⋅ r/MonitorLizards

small improvements today, wooden top covers to hold humidity, real indoor plants planted on the side, 30litres of organic soil mixed with 30 litres of dried play sand, same hides and branch, after about an hour the tank is showing for about 54degrees on basking area.

This is Stitch, our new Sav. We think he is around 4 months. Takes a little to get ahold of him but after a few bites, he calms down and relaxes in my hand. Any tips on monitor ownership?

Completed, but not pretty. The tile is epoxied onto the top level. It's 2 taller than the current Skytower, with more room underneath. The lower levels will be buried with the legs resting on the bottom of the enclosure. There are two levels with smaller gaps to see if they prefer them.5yr ⋅ AckieFriend ⋅ r/MonitorLizards
