@@Conker66 good looking out much appreciated!

8x4x4

@@ks_monitors7640 nice

What do u mean?

I think you use cocopeat as bedding? If so the question is, when it becomes dry will it dust like turf does?

@@markdeturck3686 yeah I use coconut coir I don’t let it get dry to the point where it becomes dusty if it’s not maintained by weekly spray downs or automatic misting system then yes it will dry out.

Ok, thanks.

Thanks bro

Yessir 🤙🏽

As many times as I want on my channel! Thanks for adding another view to my video keep it going!!🤙🏽

Will do thanks for showing my page some love!🤙🏽

Lol yes indeed 😂🤣

Good looking bro🤙🏽

🤙🏽💪🏽

Thanks bro 🤙🏽

The live wire, which is the black wire, is connected to the bronze screw. I’ve been wiring my lights this way for years; if I had the wires backwards the bulb would not come on or some kind of malfunction would occur. The black goes with bronze & the silver with white. Thank you for your advice!

There’s nothing more exciting when feeding a Argus! Hands down

Argus monitors are food driven there’s no way around that it’s part of there nature best thing to do is stay consistent when it comes to the bond your creating while feeding also spend time with him when your not feeding to let him know your not just the food source it’s going to take time but it can be done. Lay a brick a day if u can’t pick him up when your not feeding then take baby steps by rubbing him small interactions are good trust the process most important don’t force it respect goes along way with monitor lizards especially a Argus they can cause a lot of damage they are one of the more powerful species if not the most powerful in terms of sheer power. Hopefully this helps bro!

@@ks_monitors7640 thanks for the help bro I appreciate it a lot I do understand it will take time I’m here for the long haul and hope to have a good bond with him.

@@caseymufc3033 any time bro💪🏽

Thanks bro I payed $600

The sky is the limit the bigger the house the more space I’ll have to give to my monitors I’m shooting for 12 foot enclosures minimum.. with huge water features in both enclosures. As far as the pond size 3 to 4 feet in length is always a good starting point for a medium to large size monitor I wouldn’t go any smaller

@@ks_monitors7640alright, thank you for the response!

Hi there, @nomprenom3745. On my channel, there’s no necessity for name calling or any other form of disrespect. If you had a question, you could have just asked if I planned on keeping him when he grew even larger. I don’t happen to be any kind of fecal matter that you mention and I also plan to keep my argus even past him being massive. Thanks for watching; please do better. God bless. 🏁🤙🏽‼️

Yessir!

Hell No lol he’s family he’s not going anywhere 😂 I just posted a short of charmander a few days ago..

@@ks_monitors7640 where does argus live now?

@@vitaliikotliar2826 He lives with me.

More to come!

I feed raw chicken feet & necks for added calcium even tho it’s soft bone it’s still a good calcium source make sure the chicken has no preservatives or hormones don’t buy the cheap chicken brand. high quality food items is key read the package carefully & your basking temps need to be on point when feeding chicken the hotter the better As far as raw eggs go I’m not a fan I don’t incorporate raw eggs in my monitors diet if u want to feed eggs boil them & feed it to your monitor whole!

@@ks_monitors7640 ohh okey I didn’t k about the super hot basking temps when feeding the chicken thanks! Although my Argus does have a basking surface that reaches 120 degrees F. Ive been feeding him like one raw egg in a dish and he likes to drink it but I dont do it often.. Ill try the boiling method!

@@calebwaldemer3907 my basking temps range from 130 to 150 raw food items can carry bacteria so a high basking temp is important especially when feeding chicken.

@@ks_monitors7640 ok will have to adjust the temps thank you

@@calebwaldemer3907 make sure your enclosure is big enough where u can make adjustments without causing the overall ambient to get to high.

Thanks bro🙏🏽

Lol na bro Ks are my initials I keep my argus in the house I live in Texas my garage is way to hot in the summer

Osb

Yup it’s wild how fast they catch on

Hey man! I think you should go check out more of my newer videos! Everything that you pointed out has already been tweaked. 🙌🏽 I use multiple lower watt flood lights to not only heat the entire enclosure but to also maintain healthy temperatures and levels of humidity throughout the day/ night. He does have a cool spot beneath his basking spot, since it’s elevated. The entire other half of the enclosure, where his water vessel is (about 4 feet in total) is also a cool spot. Another fun fact is that I insulated the enclosure and also run a singular heat emitter 24/7. I did this because, in my experience, heat emitters are not as effective for heating when used in larger enclosures. I use my emitter, plus the insulation, for a small boost to maintain proper ambients (85 to 88 degrees) but that’s about it. There’s no way that I’d be able to heat an enclosure of this size with only a few floods. Trust me, trial and error has taught me this lesson. Even at a higher wattage, if I used less bulbs, I wouldn’t be able to heat the entire enclosure and it would also lead to me compromising basking space. Charmander is over 4 feet long so he needs to be able to heat his entire body length without being cramped under a few bulbs and without his tail hanging off. Not to mention, I have a misting system to keep my humidity where it needs to be. This is another reason why I use so many bulbs; it’s all about balance when it comes to creating the perfect atmosphere for a reptile to thrive in. I understand how it can look like a lot but trust me…there’s a method to my madness and my ability to maintain what works best for Chamander. 🤙🏽

@@ks_monitors7640 right on for taking such good care of your animal. Few take it to the level you have, serious props for doing the best u can to give Charmander a rad life. Been doing snakes for decades, and I've only seen one person do a monitor correctly and he had an entire bedroom. I want a 4*2*6 and they just dont exist so I am looking for ideas to build one

@@mrmouse-ol9pw yessir! I got some years under my belt I’ve seen more bad than good in the reptile community unfortunately. But as for me the sky is the limit this 8x4x4 is temporary & only the beginning. Bigger and better to come🙏🏽

Appreciate it

Send me pictures when the build is done I’m eager to see what u come up with
