gaffeR 1,380 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Well the forums are a little quiet at the moment so I made a little video of my bosc monitor other wise known as a savannah monitor. Any questions just ask. Edited January 7, 2014 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post
Skeff 289 Posted January 7, 2014 Have you ever tried feeding a something live to her? Quote Share this post Link to post
gaffeR 1,380 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) He does get fed live locusts and crickets. It's not advised to use live prey like mice/rats with pets and in the pet shop we tell people not to feed live, due to your pet possibly getting hurt which results in a hefty vet bill. I know a friend and he tried it with his bearded dragon and the mouse bit off about 2 inches of its tail. Theres a few stories of snakes and lizards losing eyes because a mouse would scratch and bite, so its really not worth the risk. Edited January 7, 2014 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post
w33zy 1,523 Posted January 7, 2014 Lol gaffer, cool video, you have set up a nice home for the lizard Quote Share this post Link to post
UnSeen 1,036 Posted January 7, 2014 Ahah love it gaffeR, I know that that you're really passionate about your pets :o Reckon you'd be able to do a video of what you said about live locusts and crickets? Unless it's cruel ofc, but it'd be funny and cool to see the little guy hunting down his prey ahah xD Quote Share this post Link to post
gaffeR 1,380 Posted January 7, 2014 Yeh I'll do a video sometime this week, I don't find it cruel myself but obviously everyone has their own opinions. Quote Share this post Link to post
VENGA BUS 2,027 Posted January 7, 2014 It's no more cruel than me pouring salt onto daddy slug. Quote Share this post Link to post
Jak 1,381 Posted January 7, 2014 I don't know whether this is a real Gaffer video or not because throughout the entire video I saw not a single second of dog bollock. Does the monitor struggle when the tail is protruding out of its mouth like that? Cos I know if I'm eating strawberry laces and I forget to bite before I swallow and there's a bit dangling out of my mouth while the rest is sliding down my throat, I am going to have a bad time... Also how's the shop going? I hope it's taking off well! Quote Share this post Link to post
