Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

how does one worm a monitor?
So I've put some time and money into the enclosure~ 6'X'5'2'
I've got it all set up and I've ordered the monitors ~ Pair of black tree monitors
Being black tree monitors I'm aware they are surely wild collected~ I know I need to worm and delouse them. I'm getting everything ready when it occurs to me....
is there an easy way to do this and I just don't know about it?
I've done a few WC Ball Pythons several years ago so I'm thinking I've got to go to me vet get a feeding tube, a syringe and some panacur to put down them. Then when they get here give them a spray with Provent-a-mite and just accept that some of the crickets will fall pray to the permethrin on the lizards for the first several weeks.
But's its been a number of years since I last brought in and acclimated a WC animal~ is there an easier way to go about this that I should be made aware of?
Any help appreciated!
I'm excited for this fun new project!!

I usually just dosed rat pinks, and let them eat. Much less stressful all the way around.

Way back when I had a stray Savannah monitor dropped off to me, I ended up worming him the same way.

Thanks! My vet suggested if I just give them each 0.1cc ivermectin injection today and again in two weeks that should do the trick. I've tried putting panacur in a pinky and it usually winds up a mess so I'm gonna try the ivermectin today I think. Let's hope it's not as difficult as I fear!

I'd rethink administering Ivermectin. It has been known to cause serious health issues, and often death, particularly when used for Chelonia. While I doubt you'll find specific case reports for your particular species, I would personally stick with the tried and true oral medications such as Flagyl and Panacur unless your veterinarian is extremely well versed in the treatment of reptiles.
While all medications used for the treatment of parasites can certainly be toxic, the two mentioned above have a well documented track record for safety in a wide variety of reptiles, as well as dosing tables that have proven to be effective in eliminating parasitic loads.
