This is true of many captive animals, they barely resemble their wild counterparts.
Keepers of many species need to open up their eyes and smell the coffee.

*applause* Couldn't have said it better myself! I wish there were more people like you in the herp world, Wayne. The passion you have for your animals is so apparent and so refreshing. People see those stupid youtube videos of these 'tame' animals and think 'oooh! look how cuddly! I'm going to get one!' and then the animals suffers and dies a slow painful death. Or the pet store looking to make a buck will tell the buyer improper care and not tell you that this animal will one day need IT'S OWN BEDROOM. That's how the Nile I rescued came into my care, and it's how 1000's of others like him are living. Just really sad, to be honest.

Re: Is this a sav monitor?
How big exactly should an adult monitor enclosure be? I'm not getting one anytime but years down the road when I have a stable job I might.

I actually stumbled across one of the videos the other day, something seemed wrong with the back legs to me. It wasn't really using them, just wiggling them ineffectually.

I think this is the most recent video:
MacGyver ? 3 Foot Lizard Wants Attention - YouTube
Weird.

Re: Is this a sav monitor?
The young man who posted the craigslist ad has apologized and asked for help.
He handled the entire thing with more maturity than anyone I have ever made contact with.
He subscribed to my youtube channel & is reading the web site and asking me questions.
I consider that a far bigger victory than getting the ad removed.
If only they all panned out this way.
I'm going to invite him to join the forum.

He thought the picture was really cool, found it on a Google search.
Yes he does own a Savannah Monitor, He has changed his mind and decided to keep it.
He's young, we all make mistakes when we are young.
His willingness to learn and do what's right impresses me to no end.
Most young people are stubborn and refuse to listen, not this guy, he's been very cordial and apologetic.
The best course of action now is to help him and be equally polite.

Well.. that actually adds up.
Good to know and I hope he can give a proper enclosure for his monitor. He is in an apartment though so.. that could be troublesome.
