I've been going through this thread and now I'm confused. I think the fact that the nile was in its water bowl once was blown way out of proportion. The "beef jerky" dehydration theory seems to make sense, however how does one avoid this in an aquarium? I would venture to say 95% of people with herps in an aquarium have a screen top with lights on the screen. You're not going to start out that baby water monitor in an 8' x 4' x 6' custom built enclosure, he's going in an aquarium. They're all slowly cooking to death? I've always tended to avoid too much wattage on my herps. I would rather them feel the need to get closer to the heat than to cook in it without escape. You mentioned that your lights are of lower wattages and they're "in" in the aquarium. Please elaborate...
