Put a deposit on it and I'll take it off the market lol!

I'm very tempted. You know how much trouble this would get me in with my fiance? :D

I will let you know in the next day or so if I decide to do just that...
 
Another question, is he handleable at all, or is he just for show/breeding? Just wondering if I took him, will I end up looking like I stuck my arms in a paper shredder every time I tried to pick him up... And is he pretty calm, or is he kind of flighty?

Lastly, what kind of shipping would you be using? Just wondering, because its been getting down into the mid-40's here overnight.
 
Show breeder only like all tree monitors, they're squirley when you try to grab em. I'd ship fedex overnight with a heatpack since it's getting chilly up by you. Tell the fiancée it's furniture lol!
 
I'd be careful using a heatpack right now........I just stopped using cool packs about 3 weeks ago, and probably won't start using heatpacks untill late November/early December........

Well, the glass enclosure does take less space when standing upright like its supposed to. And it would look good sitting next to the iguana cage in the spare bedroom...

I'm thinkin bout it, I'm thinkin bout it...

How often are you feeding him, and what quantity? Are you alternating fuzzies and roaches?

Fuzzies f/t every other day and dubias in between.
