Interesting observations..

[Dom]

I have kept 6 diferent savanah monitor and have come to this conclusion in regards to burrowing..

Every single monitor that I have had, male or female (again only 6 savs lol) that are not stressed out at all or even afraid of ppl do NOT burrow at all .. dig occasionally but have never burrowed..

But the 2 out of 4 savs that has nasty dispositons and that were fairly nervous have build themself several burrows and use them all them time..

This leads me to wonder if the burrows are strickly for security and not trully needed for well aclimatated animals? What are your thoughts on this ..

For example .. 4 weeks ago I got an other Savanah, he was nasty and very nervous .. on the same exact night he built himself a burrow and disapeared .. after a couple of feeding and finally got used to me and movement in the room and now he NEVER burrows? His hole is abandonned..

What are your thoughts on this.. any simillar experiences..
