  • Chase, my croc monitor lizard, is now allowing me to fully pet him! It's a major milestone. Diamond is still pretty darn sketchy though. Taming large lizards takes a lot of patience, but the goal is to get Chase and Inky and even the black throat monitor lizards as tame as Slinky!

    Now he has the machinery would be a good time to look for some downed logs to use as basking platforms for the turtles in the big pond (not pine.) If not the county will just haul them away and chip them for mulch or treat them with creatine for use as telephone polls. A few basking logs would make the turtles happy and you’d actually be able to see them once in a while. People are still cleaning up after the storm.

  • @realangiechrist
    @realangiechrist 3 дня назад +2

    I think you should re-design Inky's cage. The hide at the entrance always seems awkward to me, and when you lift the water dish and expose her she gets startled and goes into flight mode instantly. I think you should move her warm hide more in the middle so you have to walk in to lure her out of it. And maybe some more foliage too. Glad Chase is making progress.

    This is an idea to help with not having to hands on your croc monitors when moving them in on too cold nights is to build a mobil hide on a large wheeled garden cart. Get them used to using them during the winter months. When its going to be too cold for them. You just have shut the door on each and move them out.

    Chase is definitely letting his curiosity win out over his fear. It's just a matter of time before he gets comfortable with you petting him. Diamond might just have a more skittish personality in general, so if she doesn't warm up, don't take it personally. Reptiles definitely have their own personalities.

      Tbh I’d also be concerned about the change in appearance as well, it follows suit when training hook-bills also. My brother shaved off his thick beard once and some of his parrots didn’t recognize him at first. His tame black palm cockatoo and one of his scarlet macaws actually drew blood, he freaked them right out! I’d be careful around those croc monitors for a while, at least until they get used to him.
