Savannah Monitors

does anyone know where I can get more information on these guys? I have seen pictures of them and have fallen in love. I know nothing about varanids, so any help would be appreciated. Don't worry, I plan to research a bunch before purchasing anything Thanks!

Also, check out www.themonitorspot.com , Ravi co-authored a book on Savannah as well which is definatly worth getting your hands on.

Good luck, savs are very under-rated in my opinion, I love my two.

Here you go,

Savannah Monitors

Kudos on asking first, and buying later. Plenty of folks here that can provide valuable input as well.

Good choice... I don't own any though I want very badly to get one or two... just look like a biatch to house. Apparently they're very cheap, too. When I went the reptile show in pittsburgh they had babies for 9.99.

Hi Jenn,

Get Daniel Bennetts and Ravi Thakoordyal book, savanna monitors. Its the best and gives anyone good basic info on them; your cage you can put a breeding in there! They're great to breed and babies are spitting image of their folks!

cheers,
markb

Yes, I agree. I love Ravi's book.

So you saw 'em online and fell in love, huh? I saw one at a pet store and I was like, "what IS that? OMG, it is soooo cute!" And now I have one. hehe

question: Can sav's stay in a 50 gallon tank with a screen top? Would that work at all - not as a permanent set up, just a temp. baby set up?

I think that should be fine until they are maybe 15-20 inches long.

P.S. Does anyone in the GTA Breed Savs? Im looking to get one, and i dont want to get a wild caught one. Also, would a 6x3x2.5 be fine for an adult?
Thanks
