Default Freckled Monitor, Varanus tristis orientalis

Compiled a caresheet for Freckled Monitors. It's a pdf file and can be downloaded from here:

FileSend - vtorientalis.pdf

If the link remains unactive for 45 days the file will be deleted - in which case you'll have to pm me.

I can't stress enough the escape-proofing with the small monitors Basky. Mine was loose for a few days before I found him/her. Managed to squeeze through a crack in the background about half a centimeter at its widest point, then squeezed through a similar sized gap in the ply behind the background before scaling the back to the top of the viv.

I strongly recommend you silicone seal every gap in the vivarium. If you have vents with gaps bigger than 4mm make sure they are backed with breathable material. If you have mesh - overlap another layer of mesh to make the gaps smaller and make sure there isn't much play between the 2 layers.
