Question...

[Sag1288]

My cousin has a 15inch savanna monitor and just bought a wooden tank with the dimensions 48inches by 18inches, and 18inches tall. We were wondering if that tank would be good enough for when it's full grown?? The vet said it was a good size, but I just wanted some advice from someone who actually owns one.

Let me know,
Thanks!

A full grown savannah is roughly 3 to 4 feet in length. Most monitors are quite active and enjoy stimulation, such as digging caves and making themselves feel at home. From what I've read, and heard from other keepers a six foot long, 3 to 4 foot wide and 2 foot tall enclosure is ideal for an adult. I can be mistaken though.

You'd probably want to go 7 or 8' x 4 x 4. By the time you put deep substrate into a 2' high enclosure there's not much room left for the monitor to move around.

I was close but I stand corrected. :)
