Hey all you monitor keepers. I was just curious as to how you guys feel about soaking monitors occasionally? Is it important, or is it unnecessary? :dunno:

Joe.. what kind of monitor? Most of mine occassionally soak themselves. Well, except the niles, waters, and savs, they always soak themselves. My blue trees never soak that I've seen. Basically I give them a dish or tub (or bathtub) big enough to give them the option if they want to.

Just my opinion.. Soak them when you first get them so they can rehydrate. Then when you have them set up give them a water bowl large enough that they can fully immerse themselves if they choose to. Other then that, nope.

No need at all to soak ackies unless your taking pics to show there true colors.
