Bosc care

[retri]

Been doing my reading up, but there seems to be alot of conflicting info, so just wanna clear things up.

first off, what temp do they require in terms of basking and ambient?

also what do people offer in terms of water bowls, should they have a larger water bowl that they can fit in? but would this not make the viv too humid?

have a look on care sheets on here and ask a couple of the large monitor owners who have bosc's etc.

i think they have to have a relatively high basking temp, not sure about a water bowl to bathe in tho, id maybe use a large cat litter tray if they need 1.

I have read the care sheets and like I said info seems to be conflicting between sheets, thats why I am asking here in hope that the monitor owners will respond

Thats great thanks, most of the care sheets I was looking at were saying temps between 85f-90f, and others were saying basking of 110.

Cheers for that!

As an added side note i would use the higher end basking temps for adult savs
