Is it purely the substrate, humidity and bask temp that are the difference or is there more additional dimensions that we also need to discover and focus on as well.

I know for sure the substrate and baking temp is of major importance because my sav I got now is in the recommended setup since I got it and it is doing great unlike my previous sav which could hardly walk after 6 no months. But I would like to know why the monitor in the article can live up to 7 years when mine didnt even make it past 1 year...

I'm probably not expressing myself clearly but hopefully I got my point across.
Luck pure and simple every animal on the planet is unique different conditions affect them in different ways some can hack it for a long time others succumb much quicker, why do disease kill some people but other survive? Down to the luck of the draw fella, my sav was seven when he passed and I kept mine badly...
