You should listen to the advice given to you here if you want your monitor to survive.
Your monitor is overweight. Your monitor is not being kept even remotely close to the way it should be kept.
70-75 DEGREES? TRY 120-140 degrees F.
Do the math - those surface TEMPS are about 50-60F away from where they should be. Thinking of keeping a monitor in the type of conditions you have been using makes me sick to my stomach especially if you aren't willing to LEARN from people who know what they are talking about on this topic.
You have already proven you don't know much of anything and that you have absolutely zero knowledge on the subject of captive monitor husbandry, so it's better for you and your monitor if you take the advice offered and learn something.
You don't have an enclosure. A humidifier doesn't mean JACK without proper heat.
A PROPERLY built and set up 6x3x3 enclosure would be a thousand times better than keeping an AFRICAN monitor in a 70F room.
You need to understand that there have been thousands upon thousands of people just like you who think they know it all but then end up with a dead monitor in a couple years.
You need to understand that these monitors try their hardest to push on and survive in the horrible conditions people like you keep them in BUT AFTER A COUPLE YEARS THEY FINALLY SUCCUMB AND DIE.
You have much to learn, better get started now.
