• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums.

The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

i am wanting to get a Varanus Dumerelii or Dumeril's moniter/Brown rough-necked monitor and i know a little and i've read some caresheets about them but i know that lots of caresheets are wrong most of the time so can any1 tell me a few things about them. here are a few care sheets that i've found

:uzi: http://www.themonitorspot.com/dumerilf2.html

:hot: http://www.varanusweb.com/vw_dumerilii.htm

so can any1 tell me if some of that is right or if u have any more care sheets that i can look at and dont worry i dont plan on gettign 1 till i have lots of money a good cage and i know everything about them
 
the info in those sheets is pretty good...although I think the humidity recommendation (80%) is excessive. As mentioned, these monitors LOVE water, and will soak for hours at a time. Be prepared to clean/disinfect the water container regularly, as they will defecate there. Also mentioned was the tendency to dismember prey...I would say disembowel is a more accurate term. They quite literally rip the guts out of their prey (mammals, chicks, fish). They will consume the entrails, but it still tends to be rather messy (they wipe it all over the place). They are great monitors - enjoy.

Oh - one thing I don't remember seeing in there. you will want to make sure it has been treated for internal parasites...the best way is to have your vet do a fecal exam. Imports are typically loaded, so I always did a course of Panacur and Flagyl right off the bat.

yeah care sheets can be all over the place - some are just outdated or totally wrong. best thing i found was actually talking to people who keep them, way more useful than reading sheets
