murrindindi:"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!"

When you put it that way, it does sound ridiculous. However, you're the first person I've seen to put it that way. What most people say, or have said (including Wayne, in the post to which you've responded), is that it shouldn't be necessary to soak a monitor if it is given the right options in its enclosure. It has nothing to do with 'cannot soak' or 'may drown'. It is about 'shouldn't need to soak'.
