Thanks Robyn. I really don't want husbandry practices that "stink", and take a lot of pride in my animals. I am really into pythons, especially GTP's, so I am not super experienced with varanus. I went to your site, and found great info. I have made some adjustments, and they pair seem to be a lot less lethargic!! They love the water and added substrate. Is dirt really the best substrate? I noticed that the smaller of the 2 killed and ate a mouse, and regurged it again. Maybe they are stilled stressed. Anyways, thanks to everyone, any more info is welcomed.
