Interesting thoughts on water retention Amazon. This was my third summer in AZ and second with cornutum hatchlings. The thing I've learned this summer is that these hatchlings absolutely love water and will sit in it every night (I have a shallow bowl rock under the basking bulb). They are doing far better this year with the water than the group last year. I paid particular attention to the monsoon season this summer too. It was relatively wet and the HL's seemed to do well in it outside. When it's dry for long periods they disappear, which must mean they are burrowed somewhere. The interesting thing about this Sonoran desert, even though the surface may be very dry, there is usually significant moisture just below the surface in the summer.
Thanks for the post!
