Hello Paradon,

This is a very respectable post. I can see that you are trying to gain(here) and give an understanding. Please post more in this manner. Also, I do agree that large monitors like Asian water monitors do require an understanding of the lizards needs, the dynamics of heat distribution in a large enclosure and alot of power to heat(expensive). A keeper can use tool like a Tempgun to accurately measure the temperatures within an enclosure. If you haven't heard of that before you can google it. Also, the open or screen tops not only allow heat from your hot basking spot to rise out but also the humidity that your monitor requires to stay hydrated. Do you have any experiences with your monitor on/in a deep substrate cage? Your monitor must have meant alot to you because you have posted here since keeping it meaning it left you impressioned... What is it that you remember or liked about it the most? What did you like about savannahs the most? Best to You- Mike S
