Yes I agree there is a lot of confusion applied to keeping this species. I see it as no different to keeping other species of monitors which are from semi arid to arid areas.

The best way to learn is through your own experience, this is what I found out. A lot of the literature written on this species is either based on a singular occurance with a couple of animals kept in captivity and for the rest well it might as well have been made up because I found it to be complete nonsense.

Maybe that's what these academics do, make stuff up to fill in the gaps to make it sound more interesting!!!
