I'd like to address jobi's comment about avoiding water because it will affect metabolism. Please comment mrcota.



"one more reason monitors prefer to avoid water if possible is to keep there metabolism going."



Going where? If it's so stinking hot there, the water is like bath water. If anything, it is thermoregulating, but not like other monitors might. If it's true a Water's working body temp is lower than other monitors, than it's keeping it's temperature in a certain range. There is more to metabolism than temperature (like food/fuel). If we jump to a captive monitor, their water might be on the cool side and they do slow down when soaking in their water tub.
