I agree sometime I am confusing, sorry about this!
I simply assume that we all have the same experience, witch is false as we all have different experience.
I mean water is a tool just as dirt is a tool also, we as keepers must learn how and when to use these tools.
Its easy to generalise and say water is essential to water monitors because they live in water, but in captivity water has proven to be a problem, most water monitors die from the consequence of dirty water, they drink it or soak there cages with it. this doesn’t affect good keepers like you, but it dose affect 100,000 imported monitors every year.
Good breeders have raised and propagated water monitors without soaking water (just drinking water) ask Robert F.
Same thing with dirt, there are many uses for this tool, I try to avoid it as much as possible because of weight issues, therefore I don’t use it for growing monitors.
Some would say this is a no no! I do not follow any set rules, adapting condition to suit me and my monitors works good for me.
