Please understand, drinking does not mean they are not being constantly dehydrated. Being exposed to dry conditions kills reptiles, they avoid dry conditions first and foremost.
You never answered my question below. Do you have a screen top. And next do you have a lite sitting on top that screen top. How about I bet you do. This is what causes extreme dehydration.
We work with a few turtle species, and we have to enclose their cages if we give them basking lites or they dehydrate and they are in water.
Heres another bet. I bet you have your monitor in an air conditioned room. The reason I am saying this is for the well being of your monitor. The reason I am mentioning these things is they are commonly done.
Not to put you on the spot, but lets see a pic of your cage? Its only for the good of your nile. Cheers
