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.

Adult Male Savannah Monitor to experienced home - Tallahassee FL - $50 adoption fee
I have a foster Savannah Monitor that I am looking to rehome. This one is male (I think) and I would love to find him a good home!
Name: Reptar
Age: unknown
Sex: male
This animal was recently posted on my local craigslist by his previous owner who could not keep him any longer and needed to find a home. As a fellow reptile lover (I deal mostly with snakes) I took him in with full intention of adopting him out. Details on his care are being posted here: http://www.repticzone.com/forums/Mon...s/1407009.html
Including his tail he is nearly 4 feet long. Good eater, and he can be handled but monitors can bite very hard so this is not for a household with children.
These lizards need a lot of attention to keep them socialized, they are voracious eaters, and they need a big enclosure with lots of heat. This is a high maintenance animal for an experienced handler. Please read the following article to ensure you understand what is involved with being a home for this animal before contacting me: http://www.anapsid.org/savannah.html
Pictures available at:

Must be 18 to adopt. Adoption questionnaire will be provided to prospective new owners and a home inspection or verification of proper husbandry will be expected prior to adoption.
$50 adoption fee; however, I am willing to waive the adoption fee for the right home, and would just ask you pay shipping. Based on my work with the Reptile Rescue in Colorado (I am now in Florida) I believe that Delta Dash is the preferred method for shipping reptiles and I do have a local airport I can take Reptar to for same day shipping.
Please let me know if you are interested (email is droid9449@yahoo.com); I really just want to find this animal a good home.

He lives in a "30 gallon breeder" critter cage (for now); not the garage. He has heat (undertank and a basking light). He as a great hide. He has dirt to burrow in. He has a tub for water he can fully imerge himself in to soak (and he does). He only goes outside, the VERY VERY WARM garage on the warm floor approx every other night (we live in Florida and have been under a heat wave for over two weeks, average after work temp is 90), in order to allow him to stretch his legs. Then he goes back to his warm cage with the above ammennites.
The cage is 30 inches long. He is far too big for it, and extends the full length of the tank plus a few inches.
He has a great temperament. I can handle him without any worries of getting bitten while moving him to and fro between cage and garage. Eats well too. He was thin, but is starting to fill out. Not 100% sure if he is male, trying to watch to see him evert to ensure it is male.
Please read my posts here for more details: http://www.repticzone.com/forums/Mon...s/1407009.html
If you are interested in adopting, please send me an email (droid9449@yahoo.com)
Thanks.

OK here's how to tell if its male or female, its how i came to conclusion mine's female, feed them ALOT one day then next day about 2 hours after the time u fed him put him in the bathtub *take the drain cover off it can be messy* and either use the tub as a pool or a shower, but keep ice cold water running over him until he does his dirty business, but when u see him squat his but down but push his but up with his legs lift his tail quick and you'll be able to tell what he is..just by sight..and if need be look up in google hemipenes if thats what u saw its male if not..its female. and run warm not hot or luke warm but just warm water over him her it or w/e a couple mins to get his temp back up but not suddenly, gradually change it from ice cold to nice n warm. and clean the tub after n douse it in bleach. also, what heat temps do u have for him?...mines less than 28 inches i have her basking spot at 125-135 avg and her hide is 80-92

he's dirty as hell try a pet shampoo in the tub gently massage soap into his skin and get every where u can clean and wash him off, he'll look much better and probably feel better.

I know he is dirty, he seems to like to be dirty though! He was digging in the dirt just before I took those pictures, and as soon as I bathe him, he is back to digging in the dirt. <shrugs>
