Re: Monitor Care & Natural History; Zoo & Pet Experiences
The biggest breakthroughs in monitor lizard husbandry in the last quarter century have been the recognition that access to high basking temperatures and increased humidity are necessary to allow the animals to metabolise freely. As far as I am aware this is true for all species. It's disappointing to read that savannah monitors "develop health problems in damp enclosures" when all the available evidence suggests that most die because they are kept much too dry.
