Ludo- NewGuy
Hello ! I found your forum because my girlfriend of 7 years has been showing me Savannah Monitors all day after I happened to bring up wanting a lizard! So being who I am I decided to google Albino ones, and that brought me to a post on these forums with many people going back and forth about the possibility that it was not cared for how it should have been based on how clean it was. I was planning to google basic care, and recommended habitats, but now I plan to just read everything you guys have put together all ready! If anyone can help me become the perfect Savannah owner before I even purchase one by pointing me in the right direction for care, or any tips on picking the sex of the animal based on temperament or size it would be greatly appreciated. Though Im sure most if not all of that information is around on the website and I will be back after I eat to use that nifty search feature most websites have to start lurking on my own !
P.S. Also if anyone knows a breeder in NYC (: If people do that kinds of thing!
~Thanks ahead
~ Ludo

Re: Ludo- NewGuy
Welcome and kudos for researching FIRST
Read Wayne's (infernalis) websites that are linked in his signature and if you follow his recommendations you wont go far wrong

Re: Ludo- NewGuy
Welcome!
Savannah monitors need:
-A custom built 8x4x4 enclosure made from wood, 100% sealed (no screen, no open vents)
-2 feet of sandy soil. I use and recommend a 60/40 mixture of Eco Earth and children's washed play sand for monitors. Substrate should be moist at depth.
-60% ambient humidity measured several times daily with a DIGITAL hygrometer
-A basking spot of 130F or higher, measured several times daily with an infra red TEMPERATURE GUN
-A cool side of 75F measured several times daily with a DIGITAL thermometer with a PROBE
-Plenty of hides
-A water dish that is large enough to soak in
-A diet that mostly consists of invertibrates
I hope this helps!
