I imagine that is up in the air until the importer actually receives delivery.

That's pretty obnoxious. How was it they didn't know what you wanted? You've probably talked to them a lot about it.
Ah, i'm an impatient person when it comes to things like that though (anticipating a new animal). I'm sorry about the delay! That would really frustrate me!

Sorry it's going to take longer. How did they make such a screw up?!

There was no screw up. Had I just recieved the wrong animal, that would be a screw up.

He didn't know anything except I wanted a Savannah Monitor, no discussion of age took place until today.

as long as we are all good to go, there is no problem.

Besides that, I can fiddle and tweak on the cage more, something that cannot be done while occupied.

Now if I water the grass, and leave the full spectrum light on, it will root deeper into the dirt and become some healthy grass.

Oh, I see. I was under the impression that you ordered a baby and they were going to send a adult instead.

you could also dig up some little plants of some sort to plant in there (make sure they are non toxic obviously) and that also will help keep up humidity

ya young is worth the wait for sure, that way you can have him on a proper diet its whole life, not a year or 2 into it, and lets face it, its way more cost effective to feed rats, than mass amounts of insects, mind you, wild caught from africa would be ok in that sence. sure hope i get to see some pics when i get home from work tomorow.

grass. I just put in some lawn turf

that would be awesome if you could get some grass to grow in there for the little bugger to play around in, not that it'll last that long, but still.
Glad you guys got things ironed out, can't wait to see the new little one.

They would just get dug up quickly anyhow.

beardeds4life · 01-31-12, 09:32 PM

oh makes sense I didnt think of that

infernalis · 01-31-12, 09:34 PM

Monitors are like little boys with a toy backhoe, they will dig up everything in sight.

Chomper used to dig up my yard almost as bad as my dogs do.

beardeds4life · 01-31-12, 10:28 PM

wow I assumed that because he is a baby he would not be able to. Wont the grass only last maybe 3 days then? Sorry Im asking all these noob questions it is just I have no idea...

infernalis · 01-31-12, 10:38 PM

The grass will last a few months, I am getting a strong grow light while I am waiting, I want the root structure to get hold of that clay in there.

A baby will most likely tunnel under that sod and get cozy.
