your way of thinking 6 foot monitor 6 foot wide and cannot turn around?? well that would be true if the monitors body was 6 foot but last I checked they had tails making up a part of the body length and the body bends they are not stiff as a board. If yours are you may want to check for a pulse. LOL
Please do not take this as me being rude or mean in anyway. That is just what I pictured the way you worded it. I agree as big as you can go is best you cannot go to big. But being realistic the hieght is not needed for any purpose besides allowing them to climb some do some do not. But it does not make them healthier then ones that cannot climb. There are alot of other points that are more important in husbandry then that. After all any monitor can swim but does it mean I need a large pool or pond for them to get along good??
Just some food for thought enjoy :)
: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.
