I feed my savannahs and albigs, mice, rats and chicks. No problems. Beef isn't very good, eggs are alright once a month.
I see...well when I had my large Savanna. I was crapped on when I told some people that I fed mainly mice and rats??

My apologies

About your savs growth. They will grow to whatever the potential is first, then to whatever the enviroment can support.

So yours has the potential to be from 3-5 foot, rarely has there been larger then 5 foot savs. It is upto you to supply him with the means to support his or her growth.

If you feel he or she is not growing or doing so fast enough, then you only need to look into your husbandry. Either change to a larger cage, offer more food, change temps, etc.. These are living creatures so you should be adjusting things to them often.

You were telling the wrong people. Tell people who actually know and work with monitors successfully.
No worries though. I still think monitor-keeping has a HUGE learning curve, especially with people used to snakes. I know I had trouble grasping it at first.

Okay, well, he'll to a good size, i'm feeding him well (untill he gets bigger, than he'll get fat) And i'm moving him into a 6' X 5' X 6 ft cage, no lack of space, well, yeah, but i would give him a bigger one if i could LOL
