the Savannah ive had for a few months now and the black throat ive had for just over a month..ive kept both in the past and sold them after i lost interest.well they caught my attention again and i and snatched these two up..both can be handled. but the black throat is a little pissy until hes out of his tank..the Savannah can be handled anytime with out a worry..

full grown savannah will need a cage 8 feet by 4 feet by about 4\5 feet..black throat will need a slightly larger cage at about 8-10 feet wide by 4.5 feet by 5 feet..

edit 8-10feet long by 4.5 feet wide by 5 feet

It looks like that albig is a) eating raw turkey and b) housed in an aquarium.

Please tell me this isn't true.

yes what u see is correct..hes still a baby and has plenty of room..there is no point to cooking the lean ground turkey..its better mixed with egg shells and vitamins then to cook into little turkey balls..you have a choice of cooking them or not and prefer not..they also eat superworms,crickets,roaches..

I was wondering the only thing I cook for my tegu is scrambled eggs and she eats ground turkey,liver,mice,scrambled eggs, not to mention lives in a tank while shes young.

1. Aquariums with screen tops are suitable for fish and not monitors. You cannot maintain humidity in an aquarium.
2. Monitors need whole prey items. Rodents, insects, chicks, quail, shellfish, whatever the wild diet of the particular type of monitor happens to be, is what you should replicate. The idea of feeding them ground meat is ridiculous and not nutritionally viable. The closest thing to this is the SDZ Diet, which I can bet you are not following.

plenty of long time keepers do not agree with that.

how did i know you were going to bring up the humidity??ive been keeping monitors a long time and the top of the tank is covered and the substrate is always moist..the sd zoo diet is ground turkey with calcium and or bone meal with crushed eggs and vitamins all mixed together..how im not following what there doing??are you at my house while i feed them??do you know whats added to the ground turkey?do you know what i feed them??the answer to all that is no. your just assuming. they both are fed mice,crickets,roaches,ground turkey with vitamins with egg shells. so no they are not just fed ground turkey..
