A couple of new pics -
And in the PM I sent you I forgot to mention temps - Savs like it hot, ambient temp about 82F, basking about 95 even for a juvenile. My Ashleigh basks at 100F now and still happily sits there for hours :)

Drop to 65F ish at night.

My boyfriend and I are about to get a Savannah, and we're building the tank now. I had less input than I would have liked lol But this is the first pet project we're sharing together so he was excited to build his ideas. But it should be more than fine for a few months. The one we're getting is still very small.

i was thinking to make a 6ft long by 3 foot wide and 2 foot tall enclosure.
the one i will get will be small too like 15 inch or so.
should i make a bigger one ?can you post updates with the tank pls ? that will help me a lot. thank you
 
Mine will be even smaller than that, they aren't even 7 inches long. So for now I will be using a 75 gal tank (it's about 48" long and 18" deep) and this should last a little while. I can post photos once we're done with it. Hopefully by tomorrow.

When my last Sav was grown up I mostly let him roam freely in my room too, he had a sort of walk-in airing cupboard for himself though :)
