Hello,

I created a short video describing my Nile setup. Please view and let me know if I need to do anything different. I haven't seen a lot of the monitor lately. He use to burrow under the water dish so I'd see him when I changed it daily. Now he's burrowing under his basking spot. I figure at this point he naturally wired to:



find a hole, get in it ->Eat->Bask->Poop in water dish->Bask until Andrew gets home from work-> find a hole, get in it...repeat tomorrow.



And I'm worried if I "upset" that it will stress him out (not much of a 'secure' hiding place if some dude pulls you out of it everyday?) so I'm pretty much leaving him alone. I know he's alive because the mice disappear and I'm left a 'thank you' in the water dish daily. Is this the correct approach?



Anyway, the video is here



My reptile room is very crowded and a bit of a mess.. I'm moving in two weeks and the new place will have a room twice as large plus a walk in closet



The plant trays you see in the video for the water dish are for 12" plants, so they are actually a little larger than 12".



Sorry for the rambling, thanks for the advice
