He's only been in the enclosure for a couple weeks. It's a pain w/ him being so much more difficult to deal w/, but I've never seen him happier or more active. Still my little cuddlebug when he wants to be. -Prttyhtmchn
first things first make sure it is ok with your mom before u start revamping the porch filling it with dirt also the screen is a problem if the monitor sees a way out he will not hesitate to try and a blkthroat can be heavy enough to fall through screen in an attempt to climb up and disappear b4 u even know it. also if it is your first monitor i would suggest a dwarf tegu which can also be very beautiful in coloration and can live in an enclosure f that size for its life average for one of these is 3 1/2 - 4 ft long not too big and not too small.
