........savs like other burrowing species of monitor use self dug burrows for many important biological and psychological reasons (ex. Regulation of their boldies internal moisture level and as their homes) For these reasons a deep digble dirt is best.

I'd also like to add, 5 years of experience with ball pythons/(other non listed lizards) is absolutely nothing in terms of experience most should have before getting these animals.
