I had adults that climbed quite often.. if given the oprotunity to climb, and have the option to bask high, ive seem them do it. I think its an individual trait though. I had my savs in an enclosure that was 8' tall, it had a tree braced in it more so for looks, so i threw a basking light over one of the thick branches.. in no time one of the savs got right up there and basked for hours... There were others that never even looked twice at the tree however...

Frogs are usually loaded with flagellate parasites that can easily transfer themselves to your monitor's gut. I'd not personally take the risk when rodents are cheaper and easier to find frozen.

I always thought a diet of rodents was horrible for monitors. is variety not the key? Can freezing kill flagellates? I also found TONS of amoeba in bullfrog sh*t, they die when frozen?
