sav stay in burrow all day

[infernalis]

It's normal.

There have been a lot of recent reports of this behavioral difference.

Most likely the atmospheric differences in the changing season.

We can control temperatures, humidity and light cycles in enclosures, but barometric pressure is in natures hands unless you have compressors and vacuum pumps hooked to your cage. (sorry I had to)

Hi Wayne, can you link to some of that info? Thanks!
Edit: When you regularly report your monitors can stay underground for a couple of days or so, it surely cannot always be because of the barometric pressure, otherwise everyone`s would!?

For what it's worth, several Argus keepers on facebook were recently talking about their monitors spending a lot of time underground lately.

Hi, do you happen to have details on the conditions these animals are being kept under during this time?

I would have to go and find it, but all were knowledgeable and experienced keepers. The monitors all had plenty of heat and dirt, and keepers said that nothing had been changed recently.
