Do you have any experience and/or knowledge about caring for lace monitors?
I don't have personal experience, only a handful of people in the US do, given that there are very few in the country. They cost a pretty penny too.As far as husbandry is concerned, they're pretty similar to other monitors. A spacious enclosure with a wide temperature gradient, and plenty of enrichment. If anything, they're one of the more forgiving species since they come from such a wide range of natural habitats.The only very notable difference is that they require a heated lay box instead of a simple deep bed of soil like most other monitors. This is because in the wild, they seek out termite nests to break into and lay eggs in. The nests generate their own heat and stay at an ideal, constant temperature with plenty of humidity. This has to be replicated if the female is to avoid becoming egg-bound.
An updated picture of the Bells-Phase Lace Monitor I treated a while ago. Glad to see sheβs doing well!
