I've told my bosses (multiples) when they are in the wrong and doing something to harm/shorten an animals life span. Guess what- I care more about the animal than if my boss gets offended over it. Fact is, as long as you present it in a decent way, she can't touch you, or that's retaliation. ;)

How about you chill out.
Just because shes not "confrenational" like you may be.
DOES NOT make her a bad person.

How about you approuch the situation a little different...
"Hey, it may be none of my business but have you ever discussed the proper care for a water monitor before with your boss?"

Instead of belittling her.

Being aggressive like that isn't going to solve anything. The OP has the right way of handling it. If you gradually ease into the topic you'll be more likely to be taken seriously and potentially improve care on other animals in the future. I agree that the boss is completely in the wrong here, but let's not bash the op and rather think of a good way to use proper social skills to solve the problem.

Ok...Please dont get me wrong here for I dont know a single thing about Water Monitors. Why cant they be on Paper? Will it effect their feet? Do they eat it and can be harmed? Just asking to understand myself. I've never owned one.

Fairly sure it's to do with humidity?
