What I make of the post is that Pirarucu stated that he feels that air quality may or may not be more important to an arboreal monitor than a burrowing terrestrial monitor.

However, I do notice the use of the word "intolerant" where I am pretty sure he meant "tolerant"

If Pirarucu thinks that it might make a difference to an arborial forest monitor, I wondered why he/she thought it may (even in a very small way), is that not a reasonable question to ask the OP?
Edit: I`ve just seen Pirarucu`s reply: Almost ALL species will burrow to some extent if given the opportunity (that means retiring to them during the night at times if the main heating and lighting are turned off), it depends as always, on what the keeper provides (many hiding places throughout, so lots to choose from!

Yes it is a very reasonable question.

Personally, I would love nothing more than to build a room 20 feet tall with some live tropical trees inside and truly watch a beccarii or prasinus make use of it.

Not arguing semantics at all, Stefan and I have some wonderful conversations, but sometimes we wind up on a different page because of word confusion.

That's all.. makes it easier to hold the conversation when we clarify what it is being asked.

That's what I meant, LOL. Sorry for the word confusion.
See what I did there? LOL.

Thanks Wayne, WE know this a just a discussion, just because at times we may not agree with someone else doesn`t mean we`re being disrespectful. Discussion often leads to progress and as we`ve recently seen when someone decides not to take part progression is halted, and in that case the animals lose again....
