It would be odd to use leaves as nesting, unless you mean the 'humus' type stuff from deep leaflitter where it packs down and is partially decomposing and is really really compact and deep to hold a tunnel. But a fluffy layer of leaves raked up from outside is not going to support eggs that need to cook for 6 months or longer and keep conditions consistent plus hide the eggs from predation. It would be an odd choice for a Monitor to use it. But as a hide, leaf litter works excellent and most any Monitor lizard will make use of it. Looks nice on the cage floor, smells nice and it's free if you go rake it up. The tannins will darken your lizard's pretty skin, but they don't care about that at all.
