Hey Morten. It's actually cypress mulch that turned out to not be very "mulchy".... lol! When it gets dry, it just becomes like wood chips, which disappointed me. I have actually mixed the cypress mulch with coconut fiber to soil it up a bit, but the coconut just settles underneath the cypress and I end up back at square one. I was thinking of replacing it entirely with coconut fiber, as it would probably be cleaner than actual soil. What do you think?
for my monitors I use a soilmix that consits of 50% unfertilized peat moss, 25% clean soil and 25% sand that will turn into a great compact soilmix that will natually maintain their claws because of the sand mixed in,and keeping a humidity at 60-70% is also waaay easier :) and you dont risk them eating to much clean sand or woodchips, (wich are the most normal reason for monitor deaths) :) (sorry for my English, my spelling aint the best ) I also have 2 panoptes egg in the incubator, they are due here for december :)
no problem, most ppl in the EU are using soilmix for most reptiles know, because almost all you can buy, aint good for the animals. so please spread the word about soilmix :) they are the only one, but when i get a bigger home, im thinking of breeding V. Cummingis. but they need 5 square meters of floorspace and a pool and climping posebilities :)
Hello i have a question about the little dude Where did you buy him like what website or breeder did you use? And also how much does the food cost? And what should i feed them? Sorry im asking a lot of questions i am just curious and want to get one sometime

Awesome! Thanks for the tip! What other species do you breed?
