Savannah monitor hep!!!

[jclaiborne]

You definitely know better than I do, but I saw some information from pro exotics that said you could soak in very shallow water to help with increasing hydration in a situation like this. What do you think?

I am looking for the article right now (so don't quote me on this yet), but I believe I have read a few times that monitors and tegus can't hydrate themselves through their vents like other lizards can.



This explains dehydration in monitors pretty well and explains why soaking is not the best option: http://www.varanustalk.com/forum/iframer4.php?page=gout
