Hi, unfortunately there`s no "like" button, but I do like the photos and his condition very much! It`s something of a novelty to see a 5 year old Savannah monitor looking HEALTHY (well done to the previous owner I think), and I`m sure you`ll be doing your best to continue in the same fashion! :)

[bowdenmx]

thanks alot guys. im loving finaly having my sav :)

[bowdenmx]

Very sad update im affraid to say I dont know what happend to solomon as he has been so happy for the last few months eating lots and being very much himself. About 3 days ago he started refusing his food which had never happend before. He was in a particularly heavy shed so I thought this could be why. I woke this morning came down stairs as I allways do to change his water and say hello and there was no responce at all. He was layed under his basking platform and had sadly passed away. I dont know if it was from the major switch over from the dry set up he was in to what I had set up or weather it was just his time. He was around 5/6 I think. So gutted he was such a chacracter.
RIP Big man

My condolences, he was a very nice Sav. Are you going to have a necropsy done?

[bowdenmx]

Im not going to no. Thankyou all for your kind words

[murrindindi]

Much appreciated mate. Im so gutted. Did everything by the book too :(


In spite of the monitor looking to be in quite good shape when you got him, it`s what happened previously that is most likely to have been the cause of his problems and untimely death.
I hope it hasn`t put you off keeping them, you put a lot of work into it beforehand, you deserve success.
I`m really sorry he died.

I'm sorry for your loss :( he was beautiful
