Now that they are a year and a half old, I give them one big meal (3-4 chickens each) every other day and a smaller meal (a few mice, some worms or maybe a few big shrimp) on the alternate days.


During the first year I fed them every day, bigger meals, sometimes twice a day.

That is really cool I'd love to get a larger lizard than my Bearded Dragon, would Tegu's be a good choice? Obviously I wouldn't get one till I got a viv for it though!

+1 for getting your steps in order. Cage first, animal last...

I can't comment on the Tegu, never had one.

Personally, I would love to see one more Savannah Monitor that was living in the right environment. (proper cage) since so many die every year from the wrong caging choices.

I actually used to have a Savannah Monitor During the summer I had an outdoor viv and winter was a viv that was in my basement (don't worry it was warm! ) Had him for years, sadly I was gone on vacation and it was Halloween so my family had a party and the door was always locked but somehow it opened and someone left a sock and he ate it He was rushed to the vet but by then they couldn't do anything..I was so heart broken it happened while I was gone too!
