I'm buying a bosc monitor soon and would like some good advice before I get one. I have a vivarium that is 8ft long 4ft wide and 4ft high. The bosc I'm getting is 3ft long.

What are your plans for the basking spot, substrate, feeding, just the basics.

What is the construction of the vivarium. That's the first time I've ever heard of an enclosure that big being referred to as a vivarium.lol
Need something really sturdy to hold a lot of dirt.

Basking spot 100 to 110 ,cool side 80 to 83 . I thought about using soil for the substrate and feeding mice, small rats and crickets.

Sorry vivarium was the wrong word I meant to say enclosure. I'm going to use 3/4 inch marine plywood.

Vivarium could be the correct word. Usually used for smaller enclosures I guess.
Marine grade plywood would is a great product.

Ok!, very nice. Instead of crickets, try roaches. They're more filling and way more nutrutious. Also try some chics for more variety. Good luck.
