Chomper is looking good.
Does he ever give you any attitude?

[infernalis]

Sometimes he gets cranky.

We had him outside last week, it started raining, his little pre-programmed instinct says "monsoon season - plentiful food" and he did not want to come in the house.

Chomper is a sweet looking lizard.

Who says you can't have a pet dinosaur?

Who says you can't have a pet dinosaur?

Close as it gets. For all we know that could have been one of the dinosaurs back in their time. Life lived longer then, so reptiles would have gotten bigger. They never stop growing. I've always found that interesting. Not saying it's true. Just a thought.

What temps/humidity are you keeping chomper at? Just curious, Mine isn't as photogenic thanks to his wonderful case of mouth rot he came to me with -_-

He is offered a basking spot at 130 degrees F, he is kept in a reptile room maintained at 80 degrees, the heat from the basking lamps keeps the whole enclosure at 95+ most all day.

His water bowl is set up so that the lamps evaporate fair amount of it, and when I take him out to feed him, I spray everything down, like it just rained.

He does not eat mice, I will not feed an insectivore mice, He gets fed assorted arthropod based food, Cockroaches, crayfish, jumbo raw shrimp and night crawlers.
