Wayne, this is a Nile monitor, a semi aquatic species, they should have a pond/water bowl to soak in, better heated to approx mid 80`s F.
It`s not true that you cannot soak monitors, even Savannah monitors, it does NOT do a fully acclimated animal harm at all, just one more ridiculous myth put about because from what I`ve heard, one monitor accidently drowned, now they`re all going to drown.... Quite ridiculous!
