by rare, do you mean it doesn't actually pop out often. Or do you mean rare as in people don't usually get the chance to see it often because of timings etc? only asking as my sav had the rear end sticking out of the water dish, i seen the poop but nothing stuck out from what I could see.

Both. Females just don't do it as often as males and it's not for as long.

Re: Savannah Monitor, Too Close For Comfort!
I haven't posted it yet. I didn't think anyone would be interested. She's also pooping so it's kind of brutal. I'll post it later tonight.

Aha second on that, I'd be interested to see it as well. May not be the nicest looking video but it's an interesting one

Re: Savannah Monitor, Too Close For Comfort!
When I first got my sav she would his at me and even try to bite me sometimes wen I tried to handle her to the point that I was scared to try and pet her or pick her up so I also went with the hands off approach for about a week and then she started letting me pick her up and handle her with out hissin or trying to bite me she would be a little squirmy but usually calm down after a min but the last couple times I reached in to try and hold her she has hissed at me and gotten a little aggressive again this was also shortly after she ate just wondering why she's not being quite as friendly anymore?

Because you started keeping it right. Monitor Lizards are not meant to be "friendly" they are top predators, the ultimate reptile hunter...
When they are too calm, it means they are not kept warm enough, so they get sluggish and then it's mistaken for "calm", "Tame" or "friendly" when the truth is, the animal does not have any fight left in it.
I still get hissed at, bitten and whipped by my lizards, and I spend time with them every day.

one day im going to put a human being in the same situation as a sav and see how they react....
I dont see the big thing... big creatures eat little creatures...
Takes a while to overcome that instinct it isnt going to happen overnight....

Speaking of bipolar lizards, Cera rushed me today, right off the front sill and onto the floor (again) then tried to bite me when I scooped her up to put her back.

You're right Wayne! I knew some people would want to see it! I think it's totally super awesome, but others may find it a little underwhelming. It's a pretty short video.
