Such as what should be on the floor of his cage? do I leave his water in the cage all the time...he seems to spend an enormous amount of time in his water and then he gets cold and can't move so he can't get out...I am still working on the issue of bringing the cage temperature where it should be. How often should I feed him and is it best to feed him frozen fish or try live things? Thank you.

Oh My! Make it a full room. Monitors are smart and curious guys so give 'em lots of room to climb, dig and bask. A hide box is a must. Especially if you have a substrate they cannot dig in. This is so important to their digestion and mental well being so please be sure to supply them all their needs. Don't forget access to plenty of sunlight.Hot, humid, tropical. 79 on one side and up to 90 in the basking spot. Make sure your little dinosaur has freedom to move about and go to the spot where the temperature is what he wants. Don't forget the water. use under tank heaters to warm the water and create humidity for them and of course heat panels to heat the cage.These guys are scavengers so feeding dead food is easy,mostly pinkies/rodents of appropriate size sprinkled with vitamin powder. Dirt provides the best substrate. good luck and remember they can get very big and have to be handled alot as they can be dangerous when older.

guppies, via being livebearing they might have shorter lifespans than there egg laying pals, however the nicely-known lifespan of a wild guppie is 3-4 yrs. In captivity this decreases using inbreeding, and differant ailment. you could basically have your guppies a million-2 yrs. Guppies desire there water cooler than maximum tropical fish, around seventy two will suite them basically positive so a heater set in this putting will save them chuffed. additionally they desire there p.h. severe 7.8- 8.2, and their water no longer ordinary. including some aquarium salt will save the salinety the place they prefer it (.20). you could look after all the above in case you turn your gravel out for some overwhelmed coral. i'd advise the smaller coral and don't rinse coral off you prefer the salts. it fairly is extra extra trouble-free whilst there are not any fish modern, like a newly began tank for it is going to take time for the salt to disolve, and extra importantly because of the fact the water chemistry adjustments it would be no longer ordinary on the fish to alter that rapidly. if your tank is completely stocked it fairly is extra trouble-free to purchase a product made via aquarium phamacuticals referred to as applicable P.H. 8.2 . this alongside with aquarium salt will do a similar issues yet will could me monitored extra many times than the coral. good success

You should have purchased a care and maintenance book before or at the very least the same time you bought this animal.
GO BUY A STINKING BOOK AND LEARN ABOUT THIS ANIMAL ON YOUR OWN!!
