It is all about options.
If you give captive monitors the options that they need, they will thrive and reproduce in a box.
Up until FR came along, nobody was giving the monitors all the appropriate options that they needed.
Once you know what these options are, they all appear very simple. Lotsa Dirt, food, heat and proper moisture and most monitors will thrive. If you do not provide these simple options, they will not thrive and only rarely reproduce.
The academics and zoo people that I watched keep monitors over the last 3 decades were not providing the proper dosage of options to their monitors and then told people that monitors were difficult or impossible to breed in captivity.
