Re: Monitor Care & Natural History; Zoo & Pet Experiences
Hi Wayne, I know you recently contacted Gordon Burghardt and he sent you the results of "intelligence" tests, but they were completed (I think) in 2007, has he mentioned more recent tests, because in 2010 he told me they were still working on the data of more?

Yes, Dr. Burghardt had indicated to me that the current studies are co authored by others, and he was not in the position to forward the data without first clearing it with the other people involved.

Re: Monitor Care & Natural History; Zoo & Pet Experiences
Looks to be developing cataracts.
This thread seemed to be the appropriate place to post that..

Re: Monitor Care & Natural History; Zoo & Pet Experiences
Heart breaking. Even the hosts said he was lethargic. I just can't believe that someone can look at that animal and say that it's perfectly healthy. That guy is really small for 10 years old, and looks like he's about to drop dead. Mainly insectivore worries me too. Looks like I've got my work cut out for me as far as working at the SD zoo goes :/

Now Sara, please understand that in the wild, Savannah Monitors primary diet is snails, giant millipedes, scorpions, worms and bugs.

Hi, if the length they gave is accurate (4 feet) then it`s a good average for an adult male V. exathematicus.
The condition was pretty awful, not sure when the animal was filmed (I saw the date of the video is 2012), hopefully if it`s from some time back, and the zoo has since updated it`s husbandry?

Yes it has mate, yes it has.
I often stand in the way of the crossfire.
Just look at that train wreck of a thread on tegutalk....
