How to Care for Your Argus Monitor | DubiaRoaches.com – Dubia.com
February 9, 2021 - Increase humidity by misting your monitor’s enclosure 2x/day with a large pressure sprayer or automatic misting system. Mist in the morning and at night, preferably when the lights are off. If you need more help maintaining humidity, install a cool mist humidifier connected to a humidistat to run at night. Argus monitors are very comfortable around the water, so it’s best to provide a pool of water that is deep and large enough for them to soak and swim around in.

Starting research to own an Argus Monitor.
I own an Argus. And hopefully this month I will be acquiring a second. This does not make me an expert by any means. I also have a pair of Ackies and have owned or cared for a few other species of monitors. Would you like to hear why you shouldn’t own one? LOL Or why you should? More on reddit.com

Other substrates can be used, but the difference a good dirt makes is so significant that I would not recommend anything else over the long term.

February 22, 2024 - Those who follow the Argus learn very quickly that goalkeeping is the equivalent of a meal. They are intelligent animals with a relatively high metabolism for a reptile, and in my experience, they “do it” with much more enthusiasm than most other reptiles. . So be careful during feeding time.

r/MonitorLizards on Reddit: Starting research to own an Argus Monitor.
December 16, 2022 -

I’ve been debating this awhile, and I want to look into getting an argus. Not only do I appreciate their intelligence, but I love big lizards and how unique their care is compared to something like a snake.

I have a few years until I can get one, but I love, love researching reptiles and I want to make sure I am 100% ready for one in the future! I am committed to spending as much as needed!

I was just wondering if anyone in this sub had things they wish they knew, pointers, or great care websites to start looking at, along with breeders?
