hahahahahahahaha this stuff is always fun. Did you come here for a pat on the back or hopefully(rare but could happen) continue to learn and maybe gain a better understanding, so next time you may prevent what you just experienced.
While I clearly understood what you mentioned, the monitors past history. Its also clear kidney damage is most commonly caused by longterm problems. No one and not I, blamed you.
In your post, you seemed to blame the lack of more common baths or soakings as the problem. This is what I addressed. daily soakings is not a cure for cronic constant dehydration. The cure is to prevent dehydration.
A real problem with larger monitors is proper burrows or hiding areas. These areas are what monitors use to control dehydration. They choose or make burrows with a midrange of humidity. Say around 50% -. They will choose or make burrows with higher or lower humidity if needed. They do this very much like they choose temps. They do not care to have high air humidity at all times. They use dry air to dry out when the burrows are too humid/moist/wet, such as after rains. Or after coming out of the water.
Monitors spend the vast majority of their lifes in burrows hides, enclosed areas. They do so for security reasons, hydration reasons and temperature reasons. They live in their burrows, like you live in your house.
The very first thing a monitor does when givin a new area is to make/find a burrow. That is, if it can.
Your last comment was very telling, you did not care for what I said. Sir or sirsette, information here is not really about you, or what you care about, most information is about the monitors and hopefully of help and use by the monitors. Because this is a public forum and not private conversation, the information is of MORE use by others reading the post.
If you think you know so much as to not make mistakes, then why are you here? All of us make mistakes and all of us do not fully understand the exact needs of monitors. The very best written information on the keeping of monitors is very very poor. Sir, if the written information is so good, then how come of the 500,000 or so imported monitors(yearly) 99% die in the first year?
Of course if its pointed out that you may not understand something, its offensive to you. But as I mentioned above, its not about you. You should not be offended by me, you should be offended by what you just had occur. Cheers
