Hey there I was wondering if a monitor can be to stressed to a point of no return if you really want to chat about it email at am09637@aol.com

specs
130 hot spot
80 in the hide log
80 around the cool end of the tank

thanks

that is a pretty obvious answer. you seem like you might have a problem with a monitor? don't want to talk about it with others?

yeah, we all f* up.

here is what i always tell people as pretty basic things to not stress out monitors:

do the basics of husbandry: temps, good nesting (the monitor tells you that), good food, good hides, etc.

leave them alone, they don't like you.

provide them with a spacious cage.

but perhaps that third idea there was most important.

and if it is your problem, you should probably email one of us.
