We have a New Sulphur Monitor Female!

Hey, what's up everbody!
We have exciting news, today we get to finish a new sulphur monitor female from James Wallace. We just put the finishing touches on her touches and went to pick her up. Even though it was a bit rough, she's getting used to her enclosure.

[@AvengerII]

@10:46 -- Heh. Pinky doing her impersonation of the Loch Ness Monster! What a cute monitor!

[@jebVlogs556]

Pinky is pretty chill wherever she gets homed too lol 😅like a graceful lady sipping tea 🍵 from her spa tub 😂and she's super curious too, hopefully one we will see Mr Jerry be a little more hands on with her when he isn't so busy with labor builds 😊

[@WolfesWorld]

I can’t wait to have time to just hang out with my monitors….. I was almost there when all this happened!

Awww, she's beautiful!

[@BionicBenny]

Great job Jerry keep up the great work love the videos ! We need these types of videos on the internet!

[@GuyVardaman]

I agree with using the read. If you did go over the walkway, and then partially over both sides, you would still break up the heat island that’s happening. The difference in temperature from the hallway to the enclosures, would keep the air moving slightly, and would also help. But, free is good. If you just staple up, the black felt now and know that after the winter, you will probably have to replace it it will give you a lot of time to watch where the sun moves how to fix the cages and what would be the best placement for plants or other coverings. My first thought was just to plant some trees along the perimeter but of course with the storms you don’t want those trees coming down onto the cages. Nothing simple about this, of course. Good luck with it. Love the videos if I lived closer, I would volunteer to help.

[@GuyVardaman]

Reed not read.

[@sdqsdq6274]

reed wont last , better off using it as a decor indoors

[@sallyrutledge8238]

Great advice... reed will be easy to move around until there is time for a more permanent solution.

[@C-24-Brandan]

Enclosures are looking good and coming along! Letting some ivy & other plants/flowers grow up the sides and certain spots would look awesome

[@WolfesWorld]

I’m trying to hold off planting anything along the perimeter until the land is graded with the bobcat

[@C-24-Brandan]

@@WolfesWorld oh okay yeah that makes total sense, once that's done & it is planted etc it's going to look super cool with how good the enclosures are done & the modern day velociraptors thriving!

[@IrishTechGirl]

The new Sulpher female is beautiful. I hope she has settled done nicely. The shade is a great idea, and free is always fantastic. It's so hot I know that you and the animals desperately need some shade. Be safe 😊

[@bkm2797]

I know that heat and I can't say I miss it one bit,lol. Thinking the Reed would look the nicest and provide a wee bit of light through the cracks which could be a nice visual, or the burlap which should provide coverage but not remove all the light. Nice female dragon, she ran out of that carrier,lol, sure she will be happy in no time. Thanks Jerry for the update, see you soon!

[@susanelezebeth2751]

Hey hey happy Wed Jerry nice addition to the new place!! Loving how everything is coming along 👍

[@thebreezelife]

Reed would look so good!

[@scorpionranch2142]

Outstanding, I love the sulfur monitors. I can imagine the rain would cause some issues.

[@benclark452]

Name plaque's are a must when breeding, a note pad too! Got to know who's who and the bloodlines, and right it all down! As for the shade cloth, just use what you've got until it runs out and by then you'll know what will work for a permanent solution. I did like the look of the reed fencing. You could put some of that up as well to compare the difference and to see what you like the look of?

[@norahkathleen]

man oh man, you are a hard worker!

[@tinaweeks1349]

Hey Jerry. A few videos back I suggested using shade cloth. If you do use it try to find out what percentage it is before installing. I had 50% shade cloth over my greenhouse an pool for years. It is very hardy stuff. i am in extreme south alabama and it went thru many a hurricane. Will let enough sun thru for the plants and grass as well as rain. The landscape felt will let water drain but I'm not sure at what rate so that could be an issue. Hope you can figure it out but plz be careful in this heat.

[@WolfesWorld]

Thank you for your suggestion in the past …. It got me thinking and now we’re fixing the problem!

[@loriw2661]

Landscape felt or shade cloth is where my vote goes😉

[@squeakatu1981]

Hello Jerry I hope you're well? You need girl looks beautiful, I look forward to seeing her when she's not so scared. I think the Reed would keep the water and the animals cooler but if it saves you money maybe use what you have for now.

[@rickcroney1286]

Things are looking awesome. The burlap is a good interim solution. Natural looking and you likely have enough to get everything done.

[@keith8067]

Can always make a frame with the landscaping cloth. Can easily remove when needed.

[@prettywitty9051]

Place one side of a pallet on top of the cage. you might need to add to it for additional shade coverage. It's removable, and the wind won't blow it away, as there is no need to attach it to the cages. Less work and an easy solution

[@wysmama2]

Hey Jerry, maybe run the felt down the center covering your hallway and their water bowls? I've used the felt to add shade to my garden, and it's lasted 2 yrs and is still holding up.

[@justicegreen4055]

That weed blocker is black and will draw heat and won't provide much air circulation, the reed fencing is light color and more breathable it will keep it cooler in the hot months.

[@everist22]

Economics aside - i think the reed will be the hardiest & most versatile - also the easiest to install & remove. Both the other cloths will require timber framing to install them adequately. Greetings from Australia 🙏😁

[@karenwolfsen]

I would say the felt. Best shade. Consistent look. Easy roll out as you go. I really like the look of the reed, but it might be more work, and you might not have enough. I agree with you on those sail cloths though. Those would be great. But the other items are there and ready to go, and free. I love to listen to your thought processes. You really are quite brilliant. You work so hard and so diligently. Keep up the great work. The place is really incredible. You should be very proud of your new place and of yourself! The new sulfur girl is beautiful ❤️ best of luck.

[@WolfesWorld]

Thank you very much Karen!

[@karenwolfsen]

@@WolfesWorld you are very welcome !

[@ThePollaton]

I think the reed would be best. It will shade whilst still letting light through. It would also be fine with water getting on it. Looks nice too. ❤

[@jebVlogs556]

#wolfsworld Mr Jerry 😅 Awesome update(and thank you again patrons) on Patreon community .. Yes definitely and you probably already started this week with the "Bob-Kat" to use around the property and enclosures. I'd suggest running a long draining system from the enclosures and away from them(hopefully you have enough draining boxes and filters around the area,the more you have,the quickly the area will drain. Definitely put a huge one, "Underground Box Draining filter) somewhere around the backside of the enclosure.. And I love the new family addition to the place, female sulfur water monitor(I saw pinky enjoying her spa day in the tub 😅) Back to the new female, I love how active she is(and shes tough,elegant, fit as a fiddle and strong/fast) she flies right out of the box like a flying monitor should be able too 😅.. Hmm I have a name suggestion but you probably will wait 🫷 to see what her personality is like the coming weeks/months .. Arina is an elegant strong name that's pronounced as it sounds like "Arena"

[@melissatrader8528]

You should make an Amazon wish list and we all go on and everybody at least if we all were at least one each I'm sure we can get another reads to put the shade on all the animals

[@BooneeXCdad]

Center the weed block over the hallway so covers about 2-3 feet of the enclosures on either side. As the sun moves, the shade moves.

[@WolfesWorld]

The front of my cages face east and the rear to the west so the shade stays about the same

[@BooneeXCdad]

@@WolfesWorld Years back Kenan did a video at the Turtle Source. He had enclosures largely covered with exception of a 1-2 foot strip that was uncovered. As the sun moved, the strip of sun did same. Simple but elegant. Maybe there's an application at your place. Weed cloth actually works really well for your application.

[@thebonillafamily269]

Hey Jerry, love what you're doing. I have suggestion for the winter months. Set up heat lamp for each cage and have it solar powered, maybe near their water beds. That way you can save money from the electric bill for the animals and when warmer months begin you can redirect the solar power for other use. Maybe setting up outside cameras in the cages for 24 hour monitoring that can help you document their behaviors at night. All those can be solar powered as well.

[@margaretkaraba8161]

But the problem with the vinyl is it will get mechanical damage from hard rain/monsoon. So it'll *possibly* shed micro particles of plastic fibres into the soil and water tubs. They might get ingested by the monitors. Yes, the natural fibres will break down and get into the soil and water, but they'll be like the plant materials that they'd encounter in their natural habitat and be less likely to adversely affect them.

[@WolfesWorld]

The shade sail materials break down like that? I myself haven’t seen that yet!

[@wouldyou7431]

I would go with the felt it gives you more time. The burlap would be a good choice after the plant's get bigger. Beyond that how to attach those items so it can be managed removed with minimal effort yet not show up in a tree after a storm is my question? Perhaps a grommet in the felt? Hardest working man on YT brother, just amazing cannot wait to see the next upload.

[@MFoster392]

Looking great man :)

[@brockn7878]

The black felt stuff would Absorb heat, wouldnt it? The burlap seems a great temp solution and the bamboo stuff.

[@2grumpyoldmen512]

Man the place is starting to come together it’s looking really good

[@kat1984]

I think the weed barrier would probably last longer than the burlap. Burlap would break down too quickly. Shade cloth is definitely the best option. It holds up to the scorching southern Arizona desert sun for more than 3-5 years.

[@naturenut7695]

Go with what ya got. No money needed hopefully. Looking great!

[@tylerswets386]

Hang some big potted plants in the enclosures. It will provide more greenery and shade.

[@ShaneWest209]

Maybe something set up like a pool cover. You could do rails or runners or rollers for it to glide on. Have a hand crank or multiple motors to move section's...

[@dgalasso9466]

My husband and I think you should use the black felt since you have lots. Watching and loving your videos in Ontario Canada.

[@melissaf.5898]

I think u should try the free stuff first, maybe try both and see which one works better. Do half in burlap and half in the felt stuff. You might be surprised how well one of them works. Congrats on the new sulfur, she’s beautiful. Hope she is settling in nicely.

[@mikebloom6279]

I suggested doing something solid on hallways as the position of sun will change giving different results. Think about a pergalo /sundial effect. Now that I know you have some material I would do one hallway burlap and the other shade cloth/mesh ASAP cause everyone s gas stove is to blame for global warming, right Brandon lol. I was gonna suggest grading but you mentioned it so I have some other ideas but it'd be easier to draw them explain. However nothing really to add as you said what I was thinking , but Geo cooling would be something I'd incorporate for air flow n water. Oh and was going to say get a fish feeder, but that's a great way to start n end the day sitting on the dock n throwing food by hand.

[@jozsefkertesz]

Yo can cover part of the roof with some slats of wood at a certain distance. Kenan did that with his croc monitor enclosure, the one he built himself.

[@cynthialbell9023]

Hi Jerry Sorry that this comment is late. You are doing a fantastic job. Your enclosures are very nice. I agree about having shade to keep that hot sun out. At least they can stay in their water tub to stay cool. It must be so exhausting working in that heat. You have had some good ideas in the comments. Have a great day.❤all of your monitor's. Cindy

[@ghettogodzilla101]

Put plants on top on the rafters for more shade

[@savagerider750]

Either the burlap or weed block would be great and maybe put it on a reel on one end so you can retract it like a dump bed cover.

[@okaykneenumb808]

If you can score big bamboo. Cut in half and use those are slats. Above and can screw them on and off.

[@ericbeeman8717]

Can always use pallets n make frame work and staple that cloth or burlap on em that way u can put hinges on one side of em that way if it's super windy just flip rm to the side from the top and add a small latch or tie em down with wire of course ud have to cut down all the pallets to make the framing so it's not super heavy which would be the biggest inconvenience aside building the frames n what not

[@CmonMoby]

Looking good! Thinking the burlap and bamboo topper would be best here. Can't wait to see future updates, your setup is beautiful.

[@WolfesWorld]

Thanks 👍

[@thelmahall2593]

you could get some, greenhouse shade clothe. that you could put over top of the roof screen that way when its not so sunny you could take it off :) you could have the shade cloth 1/2 over each enclosure and over the hallway!! that way it would be cooler for you when its so hot

[@sherryhall2587]

I'd use the felt. It's there , it's free and what other use do you have for it? It will save time and money. You can do hallways and cages to create a sort of microclimate for everyone. It also ensures that something that came with the new place isn't wasted . seems like a win win to me.

[@cawfeebean3697]

Awesome job, Jerry! Re. the shade cloth, I'd go with the bamboo fencing or burlap as the black landscape fabric will attract heat more. What about palm fronds if you're looking for a cheap, natural looking shade option..?

[@TheBeardedHerper]

Hopefully I can say this in a way that makes sense but if not I can draw it out and send it to you. Anyways... picture a roller at the end of each row on top made out of large pvc pipe. Attached to the rollers is a length of shade cloth wide enough to cover however much of the enclosures you want, and long enough to stretch the length of the row. Fix a simple crank to the rollers so that you can easily pull it out or roll it up. The the cloth would be fastened to one of the rollers all the way across maybe with industrial adhesive or something and to the other roller with just a chord/rope on each side. The side with the glue is the side that you roll it to when not in use while the rope side is only used to pull it out when needed.

[@WolfesWorld]

Sounds brilliant, but something that rolls out would only have points of attachment and both ends….. remember that we have frequent tropical storms and sometimes mild hurricanes. Having a track system would solve that , but be too expensive….. I might just have to screw it down

[@TheBeardedHerper]

@WolfesWorld yeah my thought was that if you can roll it all back to one end when needed it would be safe during hurricanes and high winds. I was thinking like a sail on a sailboat where you turn a crank and a line pulls it to the top. But that might be overly complicated to rig up.

[@jessicamay8410]

@@WolfesWorld or maybe hook latches?

[@deekrebs7144]

It looks like you have the felt for right now with no money out of pocket. I'd say use what you have. If you put it up to cover the comple walkway and then over the cage, and then did the same on the other side you'd have double felt over the walkway. Would that create a cooler corridor for you and next to the water tubs? I've used the reed fencing for years (in the Chicagoland area) and would really recommend it for the future shade covering. Can't wait to see what you do! Take care!

[@yokoboo]

I say use what you have, and if you need to upgrade later, you can do so with money saved up for it in the meantime. Everything doesn't have to be perfect right away, it just has to be good enough to work until you can replace it later.

[@dawnwesterbeck346]

I think it would look better with a natural element for shade and I really like that fencing formation point but like you said use the free this year and by what you want next year.

[@ianlauhon8760]

Go with the felt

[@sharim]

Jerry, I beg of you: please send some of that rain to Texas. We would gladly take whatever you can send. We’ve not had rain for two months where I live in SW Houston - add in 104 degree temp plus the ‘feels like’ and it’s 110 or 114 degrees. And I feel so dang guilty. You’re working your butt off and I’m laying here in AC watching KZbin. Wish you were closer. Sorry man.

[@WolfesWorld]

Sending some rain your way now!

[@seasonallyferal1439]

You could use bamboo slates. Will last longer and kenan usually has a lot. The black felt might radiate heat.

[@timrobinson1393]

Looks great! I would go with the burlap for now. Down the road maybe something fancy. Can’t wait to meet my new lizard and see you all finished and settled. It has to be tuff going through everything and bouncing back and forth. You’re a real inspiration!

[@MissMagic]

Could you try growing a climbing plant up the outside of one side of the enclosure to create Shade and allow you easy access to cut it back?

[@stevenshepard2381]

That's what I use on my outdoor tegu cage is that weed stop. It does the job.

[@christysank7705]

Brown one maybe be better then black one because it bring the heat more and this looking great so far!!

[@pamr.5954]

I agree with those who say landscaping fabric. If I am understanding correctly, you are only covering the first 3 feet of each enclosure and the walkway so there should be adequate air flow. The landscaping fabric available in my area is black, not grey. Use what you have now to give you time to work on your enclosures. While the reed would look better, you do not have enough of it.

[@karaleeann1211]

How about some shade cloth and/ or some potted plants or caves they can crawl under? You may need to test out a section with the reed and cloth and see what works best to cool a section and keep water cooler. That Florida sun isn’t a game, makes me stressed too! 😎🥵🔥☄️🌞🔥 this is the most pressing thing, beside your own health is the animal health. 👍. You will figure it out.

[@ericbanville6800]

Could try to build a pulley system that runs the lengths of the hallway. so you can just pull in and pack it away during winter months or colder days.

[@teressabacklin2840]

Everything looks amazing so far I found your channel through kamp kenans channel and I saw how you care for your animals you can tell how much you care you definitely put them first from the way you feed them to there amazing enclosures also about the heat can you run a mister? it will cool things off along with a little shade cloth

[@bryceanderson1703]

I would roll it straight down the hallway roof where it hangs over both water dishes that way ur hallway and water are shaded

What if you did a bit of an experiment and try all three in different areas for a season… use what you have, see what weathers best, then make your final decision from there? Just a thought.

[@aliceelbradey6278]

I like the bamboo it will look more natural and easier to attach

[@ericbeeman8717]

On the shade part can't ya take some ol palm leaves n set on top of the cages on half the roof part or is that to much weight on the wire up there or maybe u could get some the black landscaping cloth and make a lite frame and make a section to set on the roofs that way its easily remove able lite weight and can be easily mounted without really damaging anything

[@jennytillery6408]

Granted I've never owned a monitor before but living in Alabama i know heat and humidity. It's been over 100 with the heat index many days and its nasty, nasty stuff. I would worry about the felt not being as breathable as the other materials. Felt could possibly trap heat as where the others would allow for some air flow. Just a thought. I probably would test out a bit of each of them. I hope your new baby has settled in nicely. Naming your animals would be nice so it's easier to keep up with who is who instead of you telling us this one and that one. Almost there Hoss! Drink a lot of water while you are out....

[@WolfesWorld]

Thanks Jenny…. I try, but it’s impossible to drink enough water and get any work done right now !

[@myssixensen7516]

Honestly, you have three rows of animals three rolls of products i would try each of them this year ar we're already in August, to see which one actually works best for you and your needs since you've got and your animals just want shade they aren't used to this much sunshine beating down on them ALL DAY LONG.....and as im understanding you're thinking running basically along over the waters & doors ? or over the water & back lenght wise? Just thinking about the shy animals but it seems it so hot they'll go anywhere there's shade! And maybe plant some trees around the cages that can grow and provide shade to the cages from the outside 🤔 The new Sulphur girl is just beautiful!!!!

I’m thinking that geo fabric has something added to it as it’s normally light grey would be good to get a brand name and research what the product is made from is there a tag or sticker somewhere?as when It’s dripping wet who knows what leeches out of it mate I would run the other two natural options to get you till next season 👍 In the height of summer please be very mindful of animals in tubs in the sun mate in oz tubs can cook an animal in ten minutes really appreciate the effort and time sacrifice to make these videos mate I look forward to when you can have a break

[@AvengerII]

Be careful, Jerry! It's been a VERY warm summer with high UV. We're feeling that even in the Midwest along with the haze caused by the Canadian wildfires.
