Thank you!

Great tips do you have any monitors yourself?

Glad I could help!

I’m glad it helped!

Love your goal! Very much needed project! I wish I could have more savs. Maybe in the future🥰

@@LadyReptile well if you ever want one in the future I’m sure I’ll still have few I’ll never give up on my favorite species and very much needed project

@@pumpkinchow how much are they?

@@Epictheargonian well I had 3 clutches of babies hatch since then and had 83 healthy babies in total and I’m down to 30 babies left. And they are between 5-7inches at the moment and all doing great and in perfect shape no missing toes or tail kinks just perfect lil babies and all really tame and inquisitive. But if your interested 100$ including shipping and I’d film the babies before hand or do a live stream so you can pick which baby you want. Let me know and any questions feel free to ask anytime it’s easier to get ahold of me on Instagram through direct message.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! Savannah monitors are amazing.

Thank you!

How big

Hey just wanted to say if you ever have any questions or anything about your Savannah I’ve been working with them for over 25years now and even have 3clutches a total of 85eggs in the incubator now so if you ever have any questions don’t be afraid to ask and I do have a few videos on here and Instagram. I wish you and your new baby the best of luck they truly are amazing monitors definitely my favorite

Also, just wanted to share my babies name. D'artagnan! Stranger things S2

lol

Uvb, high heat

We just got a baby savannah monitor, from what I've read (once full size)they need a rather large cage with 2 feet of substrate. I think the dimensions are 8 wide 4 feet deep and 4 feet tall. They can eat raw meat, fish, pinky mice/feeder mice once they are bigger, my baby eats meal worms wax worms crickets. They can also eat Dubai roaches

@@kristimorrison6501 oh okay, that's good to know! So as adults they only need two feet of substrate?

@@thekingofnothing8895 Yes, but I'm sure the more the better. Our tiny guy has about 6-8 inches right now. They LOVE to burrow and dig!

@@kristimorrison6501 oh okay great! I like to watch mine dig the insects out of the ground and eat them, it's so satisfying to watch! Thank you for all the great info!

@@thekingofnothing8895 hey bud I’ve been working with and breeding Savannah monitors for over 25years now and a lot of the info out there is wrong I’d only go with about a foot of substate I mean the more the better but at a point it’s pointless, expensive and more work. And cage size for an adult should be no less than 4’wide 4’high and 6’ long bigger is better in this case. And food the bigger the variety the better I suggest a lil journal and write down what you feed and the date and quantity. I feed my babies everything basically as adults you need to keep a closer eye on what and how much food they get but babies you can give them basically as much as they are willing to eat but once over 2 1/2ft try and always keep the crease of skin along there stomachs so you can tell it’s not to fat or when they walk there belly shouldn’t be dragging on the ground. I give them super worms, dubias, mealworms basically all bugs are great 👍 then I do hard boiled eggs cut in slices, fuzzy mice always try and stay away from fur so pinky’s and fuzzies👍 they can’t digest fur so stay away from mice and rats unless there pinky’s or fuzzies, baby chickens, baby quail, quail eggs which they love, and that’s a diet that has worked amazing for me I’ve had my oldest Savannah reach 15 years old and you can always add other things like fish, frog legs from Asian markets usually has frog legs and most supermarkets have fish fillets but dang I can go on and on but if you have any other questions check my channel on here out or Instagram and also have email so message any time I’d love to help.👍🤘🏻

big? thats too small

Always great to adopt!

If you have the space and the knowledge to take care of one, I'd say go for it!

Thanks for the sub! You’ll love having a sav!

@@LadyReptile it's all fun and games until they eat you out of house and home haha

did you get it?

It seems like your doing everything right to earn her trust! I’m not sure about the logistics of feeding raw fish. I’m sure it would be fine if it’s prepared right. Other things I’ve given my girl are raw chicken parts. Like liver, hearts etc. She also loves raw eggs (chicken eggs and quail eggs!).

A great way to earn her trust is likely to offer snails once in a while. I have heard that snails are their favorite food, and that might help win her over with time

If it’s not wanting to eat it’s most likely dehydrated or too cold. Check your temperatures. You can also soak the baby in some warm water (not too warm), just make sure it’s not too deep. Offer enticing foods, like crickets and worms. If it doesn’t improve, I’d take it to the vet for parasite treatment.

@@LadyReptile okay thank you once she got her temps good yoshi eats like there is no tomorrow she will eat a whole Canadian night crawler and some meal worms and then go and bask

He needs to eat every other day as a juvie, 90% insects and lots of them.

Just try to feed again at a later time. You might also look into starting a Dubia colony, Savs eat so much when they start to get bigger.

I also feed “feeder grade “ earthworms. I think it helps with keeping them hydrated.

How is he eating now? He could have been just Getting used to his new environment.

Hey, what are your temperatures like? It sounds to me like he may be too cold. Generally when they become sluggish like that it’s temperature related. It could also be parasites, depending on how he was bred (wild caught/farmed/captive/etc). I would check temps, if that doesn’t help do daily soaks in a tiny bit of warm water (not hot at all). This will help get him hydrated. I would also try liquified foods like raw egg, or cat food (with a calcium supplement) to get him eating. If all that fails, he may need to be checked and treated for parasites.

@@LadyReptile he was farm bred in Georgia, I have a 80w UVB bulb on him. It might not quiet be hot enough. His little platform for heat i can still touch without issue, so idk if it's over 100. But I ordered some reptaboost. I also notice. When I take him out and let him sit on me. He will just climb up my shirt and lay on my neck and play in my hair lol. So he does get sporadic moments where he gets active then goes back to being sleepy it appears.

Ok great, so it’s most likely not parasites. I’d just up the temps, make sure he’s hydrated and do foods that he really likes. Also make sure your using a high quality vitamins/calcium supplement☺️

Yes Houdini is female! I only know for sure because she has laid infertile eggs before🙂 I have some things I’m fixing in her cage that she’s destroyed, and then I will definitely do a cage tour! She is a big girl for sure, most people think she’s male!

I fed Houdini every other day as a baby.

@@LadyReptile And how much do you feed him.(Ex 5 super worms)

Thank you❤️

Idk someone said to a adult feed it 1 time every 3 days so it doesn’t grow so much for me

@@danielisnotcool5454 why wouldn’t you want it to grow

@@TylerSpite I don’t got space for it plus my moms terrified of lizards she wouldn’t want it to big

@@danielisnotcool5454 probably shouldn’t have gotten a monitor then if your plan is to malnourished it

@@TylerSpite bro I haven’t gotten it yet but I want a timor now

I’m sorry for your loss! Baby Savannah monitors can be tricky.

mine eats live quail chicks

They're mainly insectivores yes but it's ok to feed them some meat, I personally do 90% insects with my male Kratos but either way I can say her reptile is healthy with whatever she is doing.
