Neither I nor you mentioned water temps being warmer than the midday sun? For your info and anyone else who isn`t familiar with these animals in the wild, there are many locations where there are lakes which have higher temps than the early morning air, in these places the monitors will often leave their night retreats to soak in the water to actually warm up!
The temps in burrows are usually higher than the air outside during the night/early morning, surely you can accept that?
And a hatchling Varanid WILL lose core body temp in 5 minutes (not to suggest it will become immobile)!

Re: Savannah Monitor skin issue
The water will retain heat much better than the air. This is why coastal areas show less yearly temp fluctuations between night and day, winter and summer as well I believe. And in hot areas with minimal cloud cover, night temps drop significantly so i would think theres a few times during the day where the water was warmer than the air.

I accept all of wot u say but a fully warmed sub adult sav monitor is not goin have any health affects for being out of its viv for more than 5 mind which is wot I first started off saying ... And yes I believe u abou hatchlings but we are talking about a sub adult Bosc not any hatchling ...

i didnt say that it will drop in 5 minutes, i said i dont keep them out longer than 5 minutes because i dont know how long i can keep him out without causing health risks so i just do it for a few minutes, and its always freezing in my apt. when summer rolls around he will get to go outside in the sun and walk around all he wants. but i dont even let my snakes out longer than 5 minutes about once a week. i tend to just leave my reptiles be.

Kinda says that here ... 
Sounds like I'm trying to start an argument ... I'm not I'm just pointing out a healthy warm moni will not drop core temps with 5 mins or more out of its viv unless u love in Iceland or extreme cold ....

never said it would die either, i stated that they are happier in there with all their heat and humidity,
also, i have dogs that run around too, and i dont have a reptile room so i follow my man everywhere he goes to make sure my dogs dont mess with him, although they dont have a problem with him i still wont take that chance so 5 min's is what im comfortable with.

I never said u did say it would die ? And that's cool I don't have a problem with ur opinion that is personal to u but to advise someone that it may have adverse effects ... Also I do believe they are for a portion of the time happier out of the box after a time of getting used to the outside of the box as its enriching ...

i will agree with this, but only the ones that are stressed out constantly by owners that dont know how to properly take care of their monitor and are constantly force handling them and making them stressed out, and i also believe that if you would take said monitor out around a lot of other animals i could stress them out more thus they would be happier back inside their enclosure where they feel safer.
