as one monitor breeder said (paraphrased)- "given the proper access to temperatures, monitors could eat and pass doorknobs."



that is just about true. i have never had an impacted monitor or Uro. that is more reflective of other shortcomings in the setup and husbandry AGAIN (typically temps and moisture). i have heard of geckos getting impacted from play sand, and play sand sucks, so i understand that : )



if you set up with soil, and all other needs are also met (it is a total puzzle, it does not work with just a piece or two : ) you would not have impaction concerns at all.



as for "attacks" i don't see it that way at all. it is all about the animals, so i don't take business and breeding personal. of course, there are boneheads that just like to attack, and that is different : )



when we look at or criticize husbandry, ignorance, or techniques and results, that is not an attack on an individual keeper, but rather a challenge of the technique : )



thanks for the comments, and the support, we are busting our butts over here
