Cool sav, I dont mean to pick apart your husbandry but i would get him off that sand, its really not good for them. Check out numorous other posts on here to see why. Don't worry you're not the only one thats made the same mistake.. I think we all did at one point.
Get yourself some out-door dirt, and make less ventilation available, in order to keep humidity at a decent level. No, you dont want tropical humidity, but 70's works.
Good luck and nice sav,

Yea, the humidity stays in the 70s...72 or so...the hot spot temp is up to 110 or so...I need to find some out-door dirt tomorrow...Also could someone tell me the reason not to use sand?

You shouldn't use sand because when your sav is eating his crix he's also eating a lot of sand at the same time which could lead to an impaction which could cause alot of problems if not death.
Also sav's like to burrow which is impossible in sand. Give him about 6 inches of dirt and he can tunnel threw it. You can put more than that in if you want, he will have a blast digging.

Nice monitor, and nice cage. I hate being a repeater but like they said....NO SAND!!! I have lost a gecko to impaction already and I havn't used sand since. If you dont know what impaction is basicly when they eat (accidently) too much sand, it then completely clogs their intestines and they will die in just days.

Hudson covered the sand issue... its completely useless, if you insist on using sand you would be far better off with newspaper.
Outdoor dirt holds burrows much better, but also become useless with too much ventilation, so use it wisely!

lol Jeff, maby you should inlighten him then. I agree though, setup is deffinately wrong. There is a lot of wasted space in there and judging by the photo his one and only hide isnt even big enough for him. You need some nice rock setups for basking and hiding and should probably loose the stick, they arnt much aboreal.
