Well, two feet is what I recomend for most monitors, but the depth is not actually the point. He is right in the substrate is also a mass that holds humidity, but it surely does not need to be two feet deep.

All varanids, are in, much more then out. Where they are in is a mass that holds the right temps, and the right humidity. In nature, the actual air humidity is not a huge concern, as long as they have mass or shelter humidity.

For instance, with deep substrate, I never ever ever measure or worry about air humidity. Not with any species. And currently I also have greentrees and they are doing great. And I never measure their air humidity either. Thanks
