Re: poor Sav Wish I had more room

too many monitors end up on Ksl.com

At the last expo here there was a vendor with two tanks full of baby Niles and savannahs all in great condition . . . but you know how they end up. Heard plenty of little kids asking for the niles since they were cheap, I would give their parents my two cents when the opportunity arose trying not to be too disrespectful of the vendor. I did hand pick Tinkerbell from them after looking at all the other Savs at the expo.

Hootinanny came from a kid that had just bought him a week previous then realized he did not want a 3 foot lizard in his house.

IF it survives, it's quality of life is gone anyhow.

It cannot dig nor limb without toes.

Can their bodies learn to adapt? Like a animal thats an amputee. Hope its not a stupid question but I dont know much about monitors!

It has no choice but to adapt.

If it was in the wild, it would be mongoose food already.

I suppose you could make pre-made burrows for it, as well as ramps to climb on. Still, it will never be able to do everything it could otherwise.

Re: poor Sav Wish I had more room

at least this person knows it's in bad condition, too many adds will say "In great condition, just missing a few toes and part of the tail"

Re: poor Sav Wish I had more room

why would anyone want to give $80 for a sav that has been kept wrong for so long it's already got one foot in the grave?
