I watched every minute of that video - I loved it. The fourth picture down is awesome, and you do spoil the hell out of them. I'm not even eating that good!:eek: Since being exposed to monitors - mainly from this forum - I think I've realized that I have a natural affinity to them. I don't know that I would want to keep them in my home, but I really wish I knew someone who lived near by that was into them so I could go check them out in person. The enclosure looks huge - whats the dimensions on it?

It's too small. Only 8 feet wide, 4 feet tall, 4 feet front to back.

I have almost all the materials to add another 8 feet to it.

Just need 2 more sheets of plywood.

Now I know the main reason I don't want to own one. :D - These are really cool animals.

Right after they wrestle, Cera leaped out of the cage trying to kill the camera again.

Looks like dominant display between two males to me. My young ackies do that to the point of upgrading enclosure or serparating.

I don't think it's just males though.. Males tend to do it more, but I've seen females do it as well.

Until it looks like someone is getting hurt, I think I'll leave it. It's interaction anyways, and it beats sitting around doing nothing.

As long as they eat then no worries. Just have to watch out because sometimes it turns to aggressive clawing and soft biting.

Pirarucu-You are correct that females will do it to just not as often. Normally an alpha male thing.

I've seen males kept together before, and with Savs it seems to usually work out better than other monitors, more than likely due to the fact that Savs are not territorial, and only fight over the resources around them. So long as there is plenty of food, water, and shelter, and they can give each other space, they have no reason to fight unless one is inherently nasty.
