My Savannah elias

[Mich lady]

This is my male Savannah monitor. His name is elias. He is about 10 months old. He is 31 inches long. Is he big for his age? His diet consists of mostly full grown dubia roaches, whole f/t chicks, salmon, quail eggs and lean ground turkey.

Beautiful Savannah! Looks pretty healthy too. Hows its temperament?

He is like a big baby. Lol. Let's me hold and hug him. Doesn't hiss or bite. Eats from tongs and uses a litter box.

That's so awesome, I'm learning that reptile in general respond to the time and attention you show them. Now granted you have that 10% that hate you no matter what but 90% of them just respect and attention.

Yes true. I also have a Argentine black and white tegu. He is about four feet. He is a big lazy ass too. Lol. They are both laid back and very friendly. They are free roam but have a 8x6x4 foot enclosure.

I'd move in, if I were only a Tegu. Sounds ideal to me!

 

[Mich lady]

Thanks, their enclosure is new. They seem to love it.

I also have a smaller enclosure that I've kept up for them. They go between the two. They are free roam so to speak. I dont lock them in the enclosure but they do spend the majority of their day in them.
