Of course my arguements are circular, they always lead back to the success of the captive monitor. All other examples are attempts to explain how that works.

And clay soils are everywhere, but it that where they are making their burrows. All monitors in nature are very choosy about where they place their burrows.

Like everything, its not A or Z, its the amount of clay, most here do not understand that.

They are also choosy as to what they perfer in captivity.

The actual point is not about clay or any other bullshat soil types, its about whether the monitor chooses it or not.

Burrows tend to be breathing soils as the monitors are often enclosed in those soil burrows for long periods.

Soils that seal, non breathing, will simply suffocate them.

Lastly your friends the experts are great, except they suck with captives and are paper experts.

On paper, it does not matter if they are right or wrong. In application with captives, it does matter and there is a result, the result is expressed by the animal.

Many of those highly educated folks argue for the sake of arguing, which is at the cost of the animals, as you can see, I am a fighter, I argue with my fists, and my fists are the monitors.

In most cases, those folks use monitors to confirm some theory thats on paper. They don't like me because I use the monitors to confirm the monitors.

About the humidity in the soil, what a goofball, it evaporates to the air, which is the stinking point. But, the air, does not need to have a level of humidity higher then the soil, thats one huge reason monitors LIVE in burrows. They normally choose a base humidity of aprox 50%, its those burrows that they spend the vast majority of time in. Go check

I hope you have the ability to understand that. But most likely not. Best wishes.
