"There are ways to make a drain lizard proof but I don't much see the need, a drain for a water source is great but a drain for seapage is ridiculous."
Spoken like someone with out experience! how many monitor enclosures with large dirt areas have you set up and maintained?
Ever set up an enclosure for large indo species?
Drainage for large dirt areas is a must, especially if you have lots of moisture and good draining soils, you know the type of soil that works for monitors.
To say that proper drainage is ridiculous is naive and potentialy dangerous to the animals. Straight up if you have good soil and proper humidity, you will eventually get a layer of sludgey quick sand type goop at the bottom of your dirt area that will smell bad and harbor bacteria.
Please explain why drainage for soil areas is "ridiculous"
