Can Someone Please Help! My Monitor Escaped His Cage!
(im sorry if you have already read this thread on a different forums sight but im really worried about him and feel awful that he escaped so i want to get as much advice as posible) On thursday my brother and i went to feed my juvenile savannah monitor (who i bought as a hatchling in march, so hes probably a foot from head to the end of his tail) and he wasn't there, so we just figured he was burrowing, but yesterday the same thing happened, so we got really scared and dug up the dirt but he wasn't there which means somehow he escaped! Im not going to get into the exact details of how he did it right now but (were assuming) he basically figured out how to move his basking spot to under the plexi glass dirt and put dirt under it to make it higher on one side and climb up and pushed the strongly velcrod on plexi glass top and was actually strong enough to lift it somehow, it still boggles our minds how he possibly figured out how to do that! So since last night and today weve been looking everywhere in the room of the cage and the rooms near it, in all the vents and closets and small spots he could go into, we havent been having much luck finding. today we put out thawed fuzzies and water bowls around in the rooms but he never ate any of them. tonight we set up 2 little set ups in the room that has a platform with dirt and has a basking spot with lamps and a water bowl with wax worms and super worms in the dirt, and tomoro ill put fuzzies near them, also in that room i have a warm blanket on the floor. and on top of that we have 2 video cameras taping 2 differet spots of the room so we can watch it in fast foward to see if he ever came out from anywher. Is there anything else i should be doing!?! should i keep searching for him or will that just scare him!?! do they travel far from wher they escape or would they normally stay in the same room!? any advice on this would be REALLY helpful, because i dont know what to do at this point and im really worried about him! somebody please help!

Re: Can Someone Please Help! My Monitor Escaped His Cage!
I had the same thing happen to me a while back. Mine has escaped 4 times, and found 3 times by my roommate. Is there anyway he could get outside? They like to stuff themselves in the darkest, smallest areas once they get outside. My friend caught him in places where we has previously searched before.

Can you post a detailed description and pictures of his setup? Animals have surprised me before.. We thought our Uromastyx escaped for about a week, then found him wedged behind the background in his cage. Keep rechecking his cage.
