In Reply to: Black Throat monitor enclosure question posted by andrew owen on May 08, 2003 at 15:57:14:

The cage is 3 feet deep.. now tell me how a full grown balckthroat going to turn around comfortably?? I have never seen an adult BT smaller that five feet. You suggested a foot more, well in my opinion thats still not enough. i think that the cage should be at least as wide as the monitor is long(i e 6 ft monitor 6 ft wide) that way the animal can turn around without scrunching up its whole body. Just my opinion.

For madeleine....
The cage is fine in length, but i would make it wider for reasons as i stated above and the height should be a lttle bit taller as if i am correct BT's climb to some degree.
