Please critique my savannah setup!
I'm really sorry I can't provide a picture but I'm having camera issues.
I just brought my new savannah monitor home on Sunday. He's tiny, six inches long at the most. Overall I'm very pleased with his enclosure. I'll describe it the best I can because I'd love to get feedback from everyone.
Tank Dimensions: 3 ft. long, 2 ft wide, 2ft tall
I've purchased aquarium *background* and taped it to the back and both sides.
Substrate: 2- 8 Quart bags of ESU Jungle Mix (similar to dirt/soil) I'll use dirt once this expensive stuff runs out
Lighting/Heat: UVA/UVB Lighting, 12 hours a day. Heating- Ceramic Heat Emitter. I have it attached to a thermostat so the cage won't get too hot.
Cage Furniture:
-U-shaped bark hide on cool side
-A fully enclosed dome shaped hide on the other end
-Water bowl large enough to soak in
-Aquarium style piece with several spots to climb. There is a spot directly under the heat emitter that he uses to bask
Food:
-Dusted crickets
-Today I fed him dusted mealworms for the first time. I offered 10, he ate all but three
Sounds good? I feel like there is something else I could get, maybe extra pieces of wood to climb on. I bought the cage accessories with some *room to grow* although I know I'll have to ditch everything and get a larger enclosurewhen he's closer to adult length.
