How to choose the healthiest specimen and welcome to Regal Reptiles and the easiest
way to choose a healthy specimen is to go our website and check us out or come visit
us in Providence, Rhode Island. However if that is not convenient for you and you live
somewhere near a pet shop that does have some Black Throat Monitors, this guy here is a
very healthy specimen. You can see his eyes are nice and clear and he is flicking is tongue,
looking around. He is very alert and he might even go to the bathroom and might even poop
on you. That is the sign of a healthy specimen. He's got a nice fat tail. He's got a nice
fat belly. They don't always have such a fat belly and they can still be healthy. The tail
is very important. You can see him try to poop on me. He is trying to go the bathroom.
He's got a nice black throat. He's got real rich color and he doesn't have a shed built
up. He was taken care of properly and he is a nice fat healthy specimen of a Black Throat
Monitor. The best way to go is get a small baby that way
you can raise it yourself.
