Website (Captive bred tree monitors): Sundownreptiles.com Email: [email protected] IG: www.instagram.com/sundown_reptiles/ Facebook:   / sundownreptiles   The complete guide to setting up tree monitor enclosures from hatchling to adult. In this video, I walk through everything you need to know about creating the perfect environment for your monitor, covering cage sizing, lighting, heating, decor, and humidity management. Whether you're setting up your first hatchling enclosure or upgrading to a full adult setup, I break down the exact products and techniques I use to keep monitors healthy and thriving. What's covered: I start with PVC cage sizing for juveniles versus adults and explain proper UVB and halogen lighting placement. You'll learn how to monitor and control temperatures using dimmers and infrared thermometers. I cover cork panels, tubes, and branch placement for climbing and basking opportunities. We also go over substrate choices and humidity management, including automated misting systems. Finally, I share tips on housing monitor pairs. 0:00 Intro 0:42 Juvenile Cage - Hatchling to 7 months old 0:49 Animal Plastics PVC Cages 3x2x2 1:07 Cork Panels 1:33 Horizontal Branch 1:47 UV Lighting - Zoo Med 5.0 T5 2:02 Halogen Lighting - Halogen 2:19 Temperature 2:28 Perch- Horizontal Branch/Light Spacing 2:41 Temperature control - Infrared thermometer 2:54 Basking spot/thermoregulate 3:04 Temperature control - Dimmer switch 3:19 Hardwood Types 3:39 Cork Tubes & Sizing 4:06 Cork Flats 4:32 Substrate - Cypress mulch 4:42 Water bowl 4:54 Glass doors - Brushing Guard 5:16 Misting 5:25 Juvenile summary 5:51 Adult Cage 4x4x2 Overview 6:41 Misting System - Hydro Herp 7:09 Monitor Pairs 7:34 Feeding Cup 8:06 Larger cork tubes for adults 8:17 Outro Shop for Tree Monitors: https://www.sundownreptiles.com/ Food Cup Bracket: https://www.sundownreptiles.com/colle...
