i clap my tongs and my sav comes out my melinus stopped tong feeding when i added a new female but im working to re-establish tong feeding with the group. enclosure looks awesome btw!
So how did you come up with "her" name. Liam is one of my sons name it's Irish Gaelic for William. Not your typical girl name.
I have to see the videos at home. Not working here at work
Well when I purchased her, "she" was supposed to be a "he" lol I knew there was a chance that she was actually female, as juveniles can't be sexed reliably, but I was hoping for a male as they grow larger, and don't produce eggs!
Unbeknownst to me, she was very ill when I brought her home. She regurgitated everything and proper husbandry wasn't correcting the issue. I had to take her to the vet, and the vet required a name for her, so I chose Liam Neeson! and it stuck!

Thanks! And that's awesome!!! I almost purchased a stunning melinus this summer but decided to get another savannah instead. I prefer to have groups instead of lone individuals, if possible.

I must agree, the behaviour is fascinating. The things I am seeing, makes it great from my standpoint, and as a REAL plus, they are never bored.

Modifications made to the basking platform. I used clay, but it's not tacky. She seems to really enjoy the texture of the clay. I find her on the some element of either shelf regularly now. I've also added another piece of flagstone.
My grass is starting to grow! And new burrow! I started this one for her but she's quickly expanded on it--- shaping it with her cheeks. It's a nice fit for her and at least two feet deep.
New burrow combinations... So the left burrow is her home now, and I believe the burrow on the right is more of a hide. She was using it, but never dug any deeper than about 8 inches, and then she added an exit hole right next to the cork bark.
Are you just using soil from outside? How deep is it?
Thanks so much!
I'm using soil from outside. The soil I have available to me is a clay-sandy loam so I don't really need to add anything to it, but I did use mulch (top soil) on top. And will be adding leaf litter when the leaves drop.
It's 2.5 feet deep in the back half, and 2 feet deep in the front.
