Water Monitor HELP!

[allergenic]

Wow I'm surprised no one put this take it to a vet raise the temps also what is his humidity and how big is the monitor and its enclosure, and what is it eating and how often.

Greg and I have both asked for specifics as to how the monitor is being kept. In fact, mine was the first user comment in the thread.

The majority of issues monitors have in captivity have to do with husbandry errors. Temperatures, diet, cage structure, humidity levels, stress and lack of security, etc. If they go off food, it's for a good reason and is usually caused by lack of safety. Survival from predators (including humans) trumps eating.

While "take it to a vet raise the temps" is a wonderfully generic response, again it would be nice if some more specifics about the animal's conditions were available, that would help us tailor the response.

For example, now that we know the monitor is being kept in a fish aquarium which cannot hold humidity worth anything, we can assume dehydration as a primary factor and make recommendations to construct a proper enclosure, but without seeing photos (such as a photo of the animal), we can throw out educated guesses all day long and possibly get nowhere.
