You did a wonderful job building that cage. But you only attended to one basic need and ignored many others.

Keeping monitors is not very complicated. There are only a few basic physical needs. To successfully keep any monitor species, you only have to attend to a few basic things. Temp range that is of use. Humidity range that is of use. A basic suitable diet.

Then address life functions. If you do not address life functions, you should not expect to see them.

Your ignoring nesting. Your ignoring suitable homes. And lastly your ignoring social control. All to concentrate on "rain".

As Jobi mentioned, monitors only like rain if they are dehydrated, if not, it adversely effects their ability to control their temps.

But what a great job of cage building. Truthfully, with that ability you can build whats needed without question. Cheers
