bosc

[ju5t1n]

ive decided after careful thought and a lot of research im going to get a bosc monitor, what things do i need in the viv as far as climbing obsticles and the like? and has anyone got any pictures of bosc vivs?

My Bosc is the preverbial pet rock.

They burrow and sleep, eat, sleep, poop, sleep and then sleep some more.

I have several different pieces of bog wood of varying shapes to encourage basking and hiding places. He has yet to climb and bask rather climb to go over not up. I only put them in to wear down his claws, as still persists to sleep its pointless.

To be fair they are quite an inactive monitor in my experience, they need a large set up due to their size rather than their activity.

An Ackie would be a much better monitor, think Beardie but better! In the 5' viv you have you could house a nice pair or even a trio.

Ive just put mine in a 4FT cubed viv and its got one soon to be 2 4 ft branches ones for clibing and the other is goign to be for bascing ...

she dose have one for bascing at the moment which is a Half cut of a log with bar co so something to dig her claws in .

I was also wondering would i be a good idea to heave some bark on my log that im stripping at the moment for the Viv ?

depends if your haveing a free roam bosc or a caged up one all the time mines in a 5ft by 3ft by 4ft but mine comes and goes so his viv is ok for him saying he only sleeps init and wonders around my house.

my bosc is extremely active, he has an 8x3x3 viv with a shelf along the back which he regularly uses.
heres a pic when i first put him in, he now has more rocks under the basking lamp and a big thick log on the cool end, theyre not really climbers but will scramble over rocks, logs etc.
