    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am in search of a RoughNeck Monitor if anyone can help me out. I am also willing to trade a 6 foot pastel columbian red tail boa in perfect health if interested. Please contact me with any information regarding your available RoughNeck Monitors.
Thank You
George

Ive never purchased from him, i met him and hes a good guy knows his stuff. The only thing i know about roughnecks is that theyre supposedly pricks
 
There are two different types of rough neck monitor, the black rough neck and the brown rough neck (also known as dumerils monitor). I would advice you not to get them if you dont have other monitor experience, these are all wild caught monitors that are very skittish at first and need lots of cover. They get around 4-5 feet and need large cages that are 6+ feet tall with a few 130+ F basking spots. Look into CBB monitor species from that are from Australia (ackies, black headed, or even argus if you have an 8x4x4 cage or bigger)

Thank You. My Terrarium is 6 X 2 X 2
What do you suggest in the monitor family.
I do understand Temp and Humidity essentials.
Thanks
George
 
yeah that cage wouldn't be good for those species. They will need at least a 6x3x6 cage as adult and that's the only monitors of those species available right now. If thats the biggest cage you can build i would suggest you looking into yellow ackies as a trio can fit into that cage or even a male black headed monitor. How much space to you have to work with?
 
Hes got a dumerils thats a puppy dog, Hes on youtube, he makes advertisement videos and outs them on there. Did you think about a Savannah
 
Well, I am not planning on building another cage. I am actually selling a 6 foot Red Tail Columbian Boa to replace with the monitor if you know anyone who is interested. I have some pictures on here.
Thanks again
George
 
So you will only be able to fit ackies or a black head in there but you need to cover the top and put a good 8-12 inches of dirt in the cage as well.
 
Savahnahs get way to big by the way. Thanks for all the input. Scott suggested getting a Yellow Tree Monitor in that size terrarium. I saw a beautiful Blue Tree that I waiting on a response. I would love to have him.
 
scott does not know what hes talking about, hes just in it to make a sale. Quince monitors and blue trees get 3-4 feet as well and need a large cage, i would suggest you not buy them as you dont want to make another cage.
 
If i were you i would not get a quince. He is just trying to make a sale. Your best bet would be to get a cbb monitor. Listen to bryan he knows what he is talking about.

And they poop a LOT because of their high metabolism and active lifestyle.
Plus they require a high diet of insects and need to eat every other day at minimum. I wouldn't advise keeping one in a glass terrarium because you will have dookie smeared everywhere in less then a day.
 
NOT ALL ARE WILD CAUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE TWO OF THEM , A CBB THAT I GOT FROM SCOTT

Why dont you ask scott for proof. There all WC no matter what scott says, ask for some pics of it hatching, parents,eggs,etc and i bet he cant provide that. Let see some pics of your animals as well, what did scott tell you they could live in a little 6foot long cage for a couple years. Scott is a lyier first off, i asked about Argus and were his WC or CBB. He told me they were all CBB and he got them from bushmaster, funny thing how bushmaster sells WC/CH Argus. All he cares about is making a quick sale no matter what the outcome
