Sitting alone sitting on a beach,
staring into the setting sun,
Just below the bright orange setting sun, I see a mast, the mast of a boat.

Dang I missed the boat!

Your missing the boat. Captivity and nothing about it is natural to monitors.

What you may think is natural to them, may indeed be very very far from what is actually natural to them. Consider, the most natural thing all reptiles do is, MAKE DECISIONs. Their lifes are a continous line of decision making.

Which makes me wonder why lots of wild reptiles choose tin and wood piles to make their homes, instead of whats natural. I guess the answer would be, because that tin or wood pile SERVES them well. It fits their needs, yet, its not natural.

It doesn't matter if your monitor is handicapped or not, you should offer husbandry thats FITS THEIR NEEDS, first and foremost. After all, thats what wild reptiles are looking for. Cheers
