Got the pair

beanersmysav · 02-27-05, 07:35 PM

Well yesterday I got what appears to be a female Savannah. It's obviously got NOTHING on my male size wise, it's a half foot shorter and probably a little over half the weight as well which is fine for its length. Just wondering if there's a weight minimum a female should be? I think he said it's 2 or 3 years old (nguyen_inc) but I've got to double check with him the next time I talk to him. All n' all a nice Sav with some odd side patterns like I've never seen. Once my pc is back and running I'll post some pictures. Untill then I'm using the business PC

yes, I'm guessing that shes around 3 to 3 1/2. Her owner before me, said that he had her for a year or so, then I had her for 2 years. How are they getting along? I wont be on that much any more, my pc got messed up by the lizard porns...lol jk.

Beaner, congrats!

you should checkout Ravi's book on savannah breeding, probably the best book available for captive care/reproduction of savannahs, well worth the money!

Good luck

Well I haven't really put them together for the most part wanted to quarantine although I did mess that up by introducing them outside of the cage before she went into her own set up. She hissed like you wouldn't believe, and then he stood up like he was dominant and they both licked eachothers vents then she just sat on him. So I guess that would show they will do good together, but I trusted your care enough to let them meet breifly. She eats beautifuly as well.

When you do get on let me know how the little cresteds are doing, hope you're happy with em'. I'm sure they are in good hands, get anything else besides that other nice crested at the show?

Also I tried picking up Ravi's book at the show but the one stand didn't have it by the time I found the small stand up front I was near broke and wanted to be safe with gas money so I'm going to order it online in a few days.

Nice .. I hope you have good luck ... I picked up another Sav as well and it is pretty much posative that it is a she and Iam going to find otu soon if my other one is a he or a she .. in the next week or so ... I introduced them last night and thus far no incidents .. the new female is an inch and a half larger but it looks like everything is good so far .. I am watching carefully ... I am hoping in the next few years to breed ... the book by Ravi is fantastic .. a must if you have sav's .... I read it twice the first week .. alot of facts and info

the larger orange crested is shedding right now. Both are doing really well. I also picked up a beatiful red tiger.

Good to hear make sure to send some pics when they get fully grown. The orange one ? Must be the one who was bright white lol those cresties change color so much I'd get confused if they weren't in seperate tanks.
