Why would you ask such a question. That question is not even in context for your falcons. As they cannot go anywhere near 200 plus miles an hour, IN YOUR CAGES.

With birds, you can fly them outside. But your monitors will never hunt naturally. They will be in cages, either or both, indoors or outdoors, but in cages just the same. They will no be going that fast or anywhere near fast.

My point is, They, monitors, wildcaught or otherwise, perform well indoors and outdoors. In fact, if your conditions are good. They could stand to slow down a bit, Then I would not have these five stitches, oh wait, its healed over. In otherwords, your birds will not have anything on a healthy monitor at temperature. And I do not care what lite it is.

For your enjoyment, monitors also hunt at night in the dark.

You see, your questions are much like many of the academics(problem theories) They are not in context with what your going to do or attempt to do.

You must first simply keep them in a normal successful fashion. Which should allow both life functions and longevity. None of what your talking about has any effect on this.

To switch the subject a little. When you ask these questions, you do remind me of Scott. hahahahahahahahahahaha. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, more then a neighbor, maybe?

Anyway, after you achieve a level of success, you could think about and work with these lite and toid questions. In the meantime. Your wasting my typing fingers as those things are not in your immediate future.

To worry about such things is needless worry. You can do that if you like, but I have no need to worry about stuff extraneous to the application.

If your going to keep monitors, get with it. Its not THAT complicated. There does not appear to be a difference between captive produced and wild caught, other then bad social habits. And wildcaught stressed out, abused, tortured individuals. Cheers
