I have a baby savannah in my little reptile family, her name is Mporomoko Wa Maji, or Maji for short. Her name means "Waterfall" in Swahili, it suits her since she's almost always in her water dish. I bought her at a pet store, she seemed so scared there and I just had to buy her to get her out of such a stressful environment! She has been the most difficult reptile to tame so far! I bought her as a little baby, it looked as though her yolk sack had just fallen off a few days ago when I bought her, so she was very tiny. She's been taking her time to grow too.
She had just defecated right before this picture was taken, and is obviously shedding in this shot. That blank spot of glass in the bottom left corner is where her water bowl was, she left a nasty little turd in there for me to clean up!
Here's a great shot of her not wanting anything to do with me! ^_^ She was fresh from her bath in this picture.
As far as taming her goes, I've tried all the tricks that I can think up of, I've had her for quite a few months, and it seems as though progress is going in reverse. Lately I haven't done anything with her, aside from deworming her, she's got round worms, luckily those are easy enough to get rid of. Aside from deworming her, I've just been resting my hand in the cage for about a half an hour every day to every other day and she has one of my dirty pajama shirts in her hut. I used to just hold her, and once she'd calm down, well, freeze up to the point that she stopped trying to bite and puff up at me, I let her go back into her cage. So if anyone has any crazy tips on taming a sav that doesn't want to be tamed, I'm all ears!
