- In this video I go through Loki’s enclosure and start the process of sprucing it up!
I also start up a yabby holding tub so I can give him more live food.
It’s going to be a long road but this videos a good start.

The enclosure looks great. Loki is becoming one of my favorite lizards on youtube.
That’s great to hear!
Awesome mate.
Cannot wait to get started on building a big enclosure for my girl Neytiri.
They’re so much fun in a larger enclosure! You’ll love it dude!
He's a beast!
Hi Luke looking great mate, mission on the log. He’s a beautiful lizard. Cheers mate love ya content I’ll definitely check Doc Merten out
Yeah it’s a heavy chunk of wood! Do it mate you won’t be disappointed!
Awesome update mate 👌
Thanks mate!
Really cool lizard✌️
Cheers!
That is a beautiful set up and lizard, if you don’t mine me asking what size aquarium are you using.
Thank you 😊 the aquarium itself is 120/60/50cm high but only 2/3 filled. She splashes a lot.
I've owned my Mangrove monitor for a couple months now and hope to make his enclosure as good as yours one day
Man if you think mines good, check out doc.merten on Instagram. His is fantastic!
I’m thinkin about getting some tristis tristis not sure yet
Nice! They are great lizards.
@@BeachesScalyBeasts I have a red ackie pair Kimberly rock monitors pair Australian water dragon pair Timorensis pair kingorum pair storris pair some viper boas, ball pythons can’t wait to get more as my collection gets bigger
@@310ExoticReptiles epic! Good collection of monitors there!
@@310ExoticReptiles dang nice collection there do you have a channel and if you can check my videos out I have few monitors and other creatures and always something new I do rescues so there’s always something cool but I’d appreciate it and have an awesome day
Hey Luke, enclosure looks great!!
Whats your thoughts on keeping mangrove monitors and mertens together? I keep both but have them in seperate setups would be sweet to build a massive setup for both!
Thanks Dean!
I have heard of a few people housing both together but I haven’t had any experience with it myself. I’d also be worried about accidentally creating a hybrid haha 😆
@@BeachesScalyBeasts haha yeah thats my biggest concern, not knowing the sex of them i wouldnt want them to hybridise considering it could be a possibility. I might stick to keeping them seperate🤔 also loving the podcast mate! Good to have a decent herp podcast to listen to!
@@deanboyd glad you’ve enjoyed it mate! We are having fun doing it.
I checked his page out and I can see what you mean he does great work as well and hey if anyone is interested I got videos of my monitor laying 33 eggs if anyone wants to check it out and have an awesome day everyone
I need answers ASAP because I own a mongrove lizard and Im gonna upgrade his tank but I need to know What kind of light do you use for the basking and how many watts is it? Respond when your available Thank you
I’m using two get your pet right Mercury vapour globes. One is 80watt and the other one is 100watt.
How much did this enclosure cost to build? I'm sure lumber is more expensive in australia than America but I'd say maybe lie 750$ to 900$?
Ply along was around $600 Aussie from memory so yeah probably close to those figures you put up. From memory the original build (also a video on the channel) was about $2000 including lighting thermostats etc.
Are those the self-cloning crayfish?
I didn’t know that there was such a thing to be honest.
And what’s the name of the uvb fixture and bulb I’m definitely want to order one
It’s a Get Your Pet Right 7% T5 54watt fixture and bulb combo.
@@BeachesScalyBeasts thank you definitely wanna upgrade two enclosures with them and thanks for getting back I appreciate that
Wait are you australian cause I head you say yabbies at the start
Sure am!
I wonder if their gums bleed due to anticoagulant venom?
Very possible I suppose. They seem to be able to do it on queue.
Do you reckon mangrove monitors could eat prawns? because one of my mates is currently researching and is wondering about the safety of prawns as a treat.
Yeah Loki eats prawns from time to time mate. I did soak them for a half hour or so to leach some salt out them though.
I should add that i took the heads off them as that concerned me.
@@BeachesScalyBeasts thanks
May I please ask how you taimed him so well?.
He’s not what I would call tame at all to be honest. He’s better than he used to be but I think he’s still got a way to go. It took me years for him to tong feed for me.
What is it about Loki that makes him your favorite? I ask because I have the opportunity to buy a captive bred mangrove right now... Or wait for a possible clutch of Tristis Tristis to work out.
I love how intelligent he is. He’s very curious. He’s hard work too due to his curiosity and size. Overall I just find him very interesting i suppose. I feel he’s on a different level than all my other animals.
@@BeachesScalyBeasts
Makes perfect sense. Your opinion is appreciated.
your tank definitely gets poor water quality so i dont see why youd want to remove the algae which is trying to balance your parameters.
