Animal #: 672022
Species: Mangrove Monitor
S*x: Female
Adoption Fee: $1000

This 4 year old monitor was given to us after a change in family circumstances meant her owner could no longer provide the necessary care. They made the very tough decision to give her up so we could find a home for her where she could get properly looked after. She is in beautiful condition and eating very well. A big bonus is that she handles exceptionally well for this species! This is the first Mangrove Monitor we have had available for adoption too so she is a rare one.

Homeless Herps

Each year in Australia many reptiles and amphibians are found as strays (i.e. escaped or dumped pets), seized by wildlife authorities from unlicenced keepers or translocated from their natural range through misadventure (e.g. accidently shipped in goods from interstate). Laws require a licence to keep most species of reptile and amphibian so legally rehoming these lost animals can be problematic. Homeless Herps is fully licenced by the Victorian Government’s Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning to take in these animals and legally rehome them. All animals are fully vet checked by experienced reptile and amphibian veterinarians from the team at The Unusual Pets Vets - Peninsula. Where possible they are sexed and microchipped. A small adoption fee is charged to cover the costs involved in housing and microchipping the animals. For all enquiries please contact The Unusual Pet Vets - Peninsula on (03) 8738 3210 or [email protected] We are located at 210 Karingal Drive, Frankston, Victoria, 3199, AUSTRALIA
