The rocks are glued and secured with tons of dirt so they shouldn't move.

The tank's actually got a glass lid, and it's in a room with fishtanks and a panther chameleon so humidity in the room is at least 40% all the time. So I'm actually seeing a bit of condensation on the cool side, and some condensation on the walls of the tank.

This baby will get mostly insects. I've read (?) insects with calcium are better than an all rodent diet for juvies.

Thanks again for the suggestions! I really appreciate it, this is my first monitor so all I have to go by is what I read online.
Sounds like you're off to a good start. Just be prepared to get a larger cage soon. They grow fast. I prefer bugs over rodents for the little guys. Once it gets some size you may want to offer larger items which should be okay provided you give them variety, and don't over do it. For my larger monitors I feed large roaches (hissers, dubia, and similar sized roaches), earthworms, fish, eggs, birds, and mice.
