    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....

Timor Monitor Substrate Help

That would depend on what kind of orientation your cage is. Is it set up as an arboreal cage (with hides above ground), or is it more terrestrial? If arboreal, then the substrate you use won't really matter to them as they will probably spend most of their time in the hides high up in the cage. I'd go with cypress mulch in that case, as it helps to maintain humidity levels.
But if it's terrestrial, then I'd go with a soil mix that would allow them to dig their own burrows. Cypress mulch would also work in a pinch for this set-up.
 
Alright, I'm getting one from a trade from a guy on this site. What would a minimal length of cage for a 16" timor be? I'm familiar with savs but not so much these guys
 
If you're going with a terrestrial type cage, I would go with a minimum of 4 ft long x 18" deep x 18" high for a single Timor. They will utilize any and all space you give them. I personally built my own arboreal cage that was 6' high x 30" wide x 18" deep, and my pair were all over the place in it. The more room you can give them, the better.
