    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

One of the underated species in my opinion, doesn't seem many people work with them.. I love mine.

I use to have one. I really enjoyed mine while I had it. Unfortunately I think mine was a WC and I wasn't as knowledgeable as I should have been on the species. I look forward to owning another one sometime in the future.
 
Mangroves are very nice, if a little more prone to problems initially. Knowing about them before you get them home is a big plus. They were one of 2 types of monitor that I used UV lighting for, and only for acclimating/rehabilitating weakened imports. Once they were going strong, I didn't bother. Another thing about mangroves is I found they did better at somewhat lower temps than those at which I kept many other monitors (basking area of around 95-100 as opposed to 120-130, depending on the species). Enjoy. (oh - don't forget to vary it's diet)
 
Thanks guys. I spoke to herpetologist before I got him about the care, he has had Mangroves before and basicly told me everything you told me, I vary his diet between Mice, Worms, Feeder snakes, and every now and then fish or crickets..
