Re: Handling

That's probably a good idea. I plan to back it off a little and I will try keeping her in the enclosure. She is only skittish when I first remove her so this resolves that. Any tips to get the animal...

Re: Feeding a Savannah Monitor

I am buying this stuff off the ice at Publix so it does not come out of a bag. It is all 'previously frozen' and then thawed the day of sale. How can I find out what may have been added?

Re: Handling

I rarely use any pressure to hold her, but she does run a lot at first. She actually lets me scoop her from the cage now with no issues, but at first, she wants to get away and will sprint to every...
