Ok so I came upon proexotics FAQ page the other day (pretty good read) and it said when soaking your monitor to never soak it in cold water (duh) and to not soak em in hot water either, just room temp. WTF DID I DO TO MY LIZARD!?! I had my nile for a month shy of a year now, and every day I would give him a bath in pretty hot water, not scalding hot or anything, but I wouldn't have mind taking a bath in it. I assumed that his bask spot is really hot (135) that he should be fine, he really seems to like it too, he would sprawl all out, defecate, then sit in chill. What the heck kind of damage was I doing to him? Should I take him to the vet? He seems healthy but, what did I do!?!
