He really looks good. Very clear eyed and alert. You've really done your homework also. BG would suggest covering some of the sides of the tank so your Monitor feels more secure like Mumps said. Some Monitors are not as skittish as others, but some need that extra security.

Monitors do better when you use a UV bulb also. They can be raised with them, but BG would suggest getting a florescent UV bulb. Vary the diet and give Vitamin and calcium supplementation. Don't over do it though. BG has raised Monitors in the past with little supplementation(a varied diet though) with apparently no ill affects, but he doesn't do it anymore. BG loves to give small monitors minnows. They love them.
