lol they make better water tubs than snake tanks anyday this was a a quick decision as the other one we had wasnt long enough for the female to actually swim in lol but it dosnt stay that clean for long normally about 5mins

i love these bivittarus cant wait for the sumatrans to get here hope to god they turn out to be a pair but my luck will be two males lol

the bosc is stunning to say she is a rescue to the bloke who had her (rescuer) did a fantastic job with them both the water needs lots more work but is well on the mend and the bosc really just need to be a bit more workable lol but that will come with age and she fine walking around the room just very food orientated when the viv doors open lol

Thats why I got out of the sumatran, they said it regurged all the time if it wasnt left in peace for a good day or two, I thought it was a bit of a risk untill Steve said its regular if they are disturbed //handled to soon after feeding. I wish I had it now it was a right beauty

yeh alot of monitor use this to get ride to make them faster when running away but it is disgusting lol she only done it once and just after her first feed of three adult mice luckly she feed later that day and hasnt done it when disturbed and i think she did it just for the above reason as she escaped the viv when i was doing the water tub change over lol
