They get roughly a metre in lenght, but they bulky lizards that are quite built, that female im holding was a young adult, she would of grown a bit more.

About 4ft full grown male i had a couple back in the day along with several other monitor species savannas or bosch monitors i think are the most docile.

Thats true, i was told that if i want a pet thats gonna hate me i must get a bosc monitor - thats not it, mine were incredibly docile and tame

Wow those are neat! They get kinda big tho. Do you have to keep them in a cage or can you free range them?

If my garden was safe enough i would free range but they were kept in a huge enclosure

I see you breed bearded dragons. Would you mind if i ask you a question. What substrate do you put your bearded in for laying eggs? My female will only dig in sand but wont dig in soil.

 

[Paul R]

Yes sure, my brother breeds tarantulas so he has lots of peat. I use the peat because it hold moisture for long and holds a firm tunnel. I have used sand and soil but i prefer the peat. i use a 5 little tub filled with peat and place it with her in the cage, i also put a pile of stones infront of the tub so that the female can climb into it. You can even incubate with peat so i recommend it as a great medium due to its multi-functions

Hey, do you have a good site about the savannahs? I have one and he is not taming down well but he has potential. I want to double check my husbandry to make sure I am giving him everything he needs. Sources I have viewed say different things oftentimes :\

A care sheet would be good, too.

I can't wait until he is big enough to leash!

Sorry no sites but there is a good book that mentions handling, its called "monitor lizards and tegus" - its a barrons professional series book. Thats a cute on you got! the one in the photo is 10 months. They are more relaxed the bigger they get.

I don't mean specifically for handling. I just mean care in general.

there is a book called Lizard care from A to Z. i got it at borders just to read cuz i was bored, and they have very specific information of savannah monitors.
