... he basks and the wound dries up - I guess the crux of my questioning is:

1) Am I slowing things down by allowing him to bathe (wound gets wet frequently then the soil sticks to it) (have now removed bath size water tub). How long does it normally take for a wound to heal?

2) does it matter if the topsoil gets on him (or should I get rid of it for the time being and use paper) I guess this is a bit daft now I come to think of it as in the wild monitors get into all kinds of stuff

I think I shall leave soil in, keep bath out and wait longer.

I am 100% positive he's a healthy monitor - and 99.9% certain that I am paranoid about anything slightly wrong with any of my reptiles

Thanks for your reply!
