thanks mr madden that is a very simple solution i already keep mealworms by the thousand and i live on a marsh and on the woods so leaf litter is also very easy to obtain as well as earth worm ect.

frank i appreciate your input but im willing to give the monitors there enclosure that they deserve at any cost of money or labor thats what i signed up for when i adopted her. now as of right now she does have a simple substrate but as murrindindi has informed me it is not suitable and i am learning all the fine things as i go.
i wouldn't say im inexperienced i had a Savannah for 8 years he grew from about 18 inches to three feet he was a monster and loved everything i did for him i have a 8x4x4 fiberglass cage with two sliding doors on the front with six inches of cypris mulch and he loved it never dug never hid just climbed around on his numerous logs and basked i have pictures of him somewhere if you would like to see his full size but back on topic the pond is a very simple design and if it fails ill resort back to changing the water daily instead of weekly that is an obstical ill have to overcome the hard way i have to learn from my mistakes

thanks all for the input it was just me wondering about the basics
