I knew uncle skippy would help!

Monitors are NOT for beginners. We adopted a Nile and we were NOT ready for him at all. We spent well over $1500 to build his enclosure (and I'm still not satisfied with it).

Remember, that much soil is very very very heavy. That hot of a basking spot is best achieved with a bank of low wattage lights versus 1 high wattage one. humidity is important. Fresh water is important and they will poo in it daily (if not more).
