Hi again WillStill, thanks for the reply and explanation.
I understand what you and Frank R. were saying, but this species can reach 2.5m, how big of a water "dish" will it take to allow even a complete soak that can be emptied, refilled and heated daily?
Fitting a pond, a filter and heater is pretty easy, as is placing the pond somewhat higher than the substrate, or putting a few paving stones around the edge to stop too much substrate being dragged/thrown in (it`s worked with my monitors).
Nobody has commented/criticised JPL`s enclosure with the large pool, and 3 monitors to defaecate in it! (Is there a difference)?
