Thank you so much for the replies. I just forgot one question: Should I take my future Sav to the vet for check ups? Thanks again.

Hi, yes, it never hurts to have them checked out periodically (even if it`s just a faecal check), which obviously doesn't require the monitor and vet to meet, so no stress at all!......
Just to add to Wayne`s excellent post; providing you can achieve all the necessary conditions in an "adult-sized" enclosure, build once rather than several times (cheaper for you, less stressful for the monitor because it won`t need several "house" moves). A hatchling WILL find the heat, cool, light and dark, and if it means the animal has to search/chase after it`s food that`s good too, exercise is great for them!

I raised mine up directly in a 8x4x4 "adult" size enclosure, and they grew up just fine. The most interesting time I spent with them so far was watching them grow up in that large box. They used the room to run and move around a lot.

It's incredible fun seeing the young lizards zip about in a cage with some space in it.
