I am a monitor guy all the way!
I own 0.1.2 Savanna Monitors!
The female is about 2 1/2ft long and tame as can be! She is a great eater too! She takes mice, rats, uncooked and cooked chicken and hamburgher meat, eggs, and insects!
Now the two babies are not that great of eaters
I think I may have to raise their temperatures alittle bit.
I have also been scamming through the other threads in the Varanid section! I read that they LOVE to dig...which I knew...but last time I used dirt for a cage...it was HORRIBLE! It dried out and was a pain to clean out! Any suggestions to keep it easier?
Also please post your pictures of your Savanna Monitors! I will post mine later!
I am also thinking about getting another monitor. Possibly a Black Throat, Water, or a Nile. I am looking for something more along the lines of a long snout instead of something stout like the Savanna Monitor, but the Black Throat is still in play because they are just AWESOME! I want something large and SEMI tame. But the Niles are just so fascinating to me I cannot control the desire to own one! I would probably get an Ornate, since they tend to stay smaller.
Your opinion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks much!
Thanks,
Don Meyer
PS - I also own a Green Iguana and a Leopard Gecko.
