Captive Husbandry Varanus Pilbarensis
I maintain a group of 1.2 Pilbara Rock Monitors in a Custom Enclosure measuring 3'L, 18"W, 3'H.
All decked out, hand sculpted and painted using Zoopoxy over Styrofoam to Create the Beautiful Rocky Cliffs well known in the region.
A few Branches and Artificial Foliage complete the setup.
I maintain Ambient Temperatures of 80°F to 95°F, with multiple Basking areas in excess of 130°F!
Day/Night Light Cycle is 12 on, 12 off.
The only dirt provided is in a heated Nest Box with Temperatures of 80°F to 90°F to offer a Good Thermogradient for Nesting Females.
I Offer a Varied Diet Consisting of Roaches, Crickets, Chopped Pinkies, Fish, Quail and Quail eggs!
Pilbara Rock Monitors are indigenous to the Pilbara Region of North Western Australia.
