Their home is huge! Where is it, Did you like convert a small room for it lol?

 
Nice collection you have got Gary :D

Great enclosure you have made there mate

 
Hey Birdfly,

It looks like the rocks are made of styrofoam, but in the last pic they really look like slabs of stone. Did you spray some hardening thing on the styrofoam to make it seem more realistic?

And do you have some side door to get your lizards and their prey in and out of the cage?

 
Yeah, i used polystyrene, painted with a mixture of cement/cement colouring, sand, peat, soil, pva glue etc.

I have two side doors on the left, upper and lower and the main glass comes out fairly easily for major cleans and furnature moves etc :)

 
Not for water but for pumping heated air into the container, i have a little computer cooling fan taped to the bottom that pumps fresh warm air in to it on a timer :)

 
My female Varanus a brachyurus looked very fat or very gravid two nights ago, luckily it was the latter:

Because the following morning she looked like she'd been on a 12 hour crash diet:
