I'M GOING TO REPHRASE MY ORIGINAL QUESTION AND ADD A FEW.



#1-IF ONE HAD THE RESOURCES TO PROVIDE A SWIMING AREA (8'x12' FOR EXAMPLE) WOULD IF BE OF SIGNIFICANT BENIFIT FOR A NILE OR WATER MONITOR. AN INDOOR KOI POND BASICALLY? I KNOW THEY CAN GET BY WITH A PLASTIC TUB...BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM IDEAL. EVEN HUMANS LIKE TO SWIM NOW AND THEN.



#2-DO ANY OF YOU HAVE SUCH A SET UP? PLEASE COMMENT IF SO.



MY OLD SET UP WAS A PREFORMED GARDEN POND...160 GAL(I THINK). I USED A FLUVAL CANISTER FILTER. I WORKED WELL BUT I HAD ONE PROBLEM-THE FILTER WOULD QUICKLY CLOG UP WITH RODENT FUR. THIS LEADS TO MY THIED QUESTION.



#3-DO MONITORS NEED FUR IN THEIR DIET? I THINK I'VE SEEN HAIRLESS FROZEN RODENTS FOR SALE...OR, COULD I REMOVE THE SKIN OF FT RODENTS.
