You know, I would actually buy that (not for anywhere near that price). But honestly, it seems he may have something there. That is a very noticeable difference. They look pretty dam cool and 'clean' pattern.

They are Caucasian versions of the savs.

Id rather see a jet black one like the night niles at snakebytes whatever the comp is called. or a snow sav. I hate albinos and lucys , they look weak and sickly to me (the color pattern not body )

Re: Axanthic Savannah Monitor...

The problem with this is its hard to recreate them, if you buy a sav you should assume that it will never breed. They can breed, its just really rare.

Re: Axanthic Savannah Monitor...

In the past babies like these have darkened up to rather normal looking as they mature.

Seems like almost every year, some "special" variation of the normal pattern appears, a year later they look like every other normal Savannah monitor.

Re: Axanthic Savannah Monitor...

Anyways these morphs are just expensive pets for now (if even a morph), when breeding is mastered, and I don't know that it will ever be mastered due to the price and availablity of wild caughts, we can pay 750$ for a morph. I don't see a future market for captive bred savannahs, just people who love them wanting to breed them for the sake of science/better understanding (surely infernalis's motivation is not to saturate the market more). If someone does have success in breeding, I would support it only because it means not supporting the wild caught imports, but I suggest charging alot and notn breeding on a large scale.

Re: Axanthic Savannah Monitor...

You are right, I have no intentions of asking for much more than say $50 per baby (when and if it ever happens) not exactly going to pay for itself.

I don't have any plans for savs atm, but if I do, and you happen to produce them at the time, you can put me on the list for one (your in NY, I can pick him up :-P )

If/When you do succeed I would love that you write a book and I would be the first to buy it! The book I got from Daniel Bennette is great but it still left a lot more gaps from a breeder/owner point of view.
