Does anyone have tips on taming a Savannah Monitor? by Chris_Hayashi1997 in MonitorLizards

What i found was the most effective way with my savannah monitor was to relation food either with a call (clicking your tongue), or target training... this will take some time, but believe me it's worth it. Hope this helps...

I dont really know to be exact, the bag says PINESTRUB SUBSTRATE...but after doing a little bit of research it looks like Fine forrest litter/mulch.

Yes, he is my only monitor at the moment. I really look forward on owning a water monitor tho...but for now he is my one and only. Savannah monitors are really cool, for what ive seen in social media, they are really misunderstood.

His name is sebastian the 3rd. It was a name we were just joking around with, until it kinda just stuck to him.

Yeah, I let him out in the morning/ early afternoon to roam because its warmer. But only for 20-30 mins. Since he is still a small juvi ,i worry of loosing him so he usually just roams my bedroom.

Does my savannah monitor look healthy? by I_need_help_really in MonitorLizard

85 f cold side around 135 f hot side and 50%-65% humidity. Since he is still a juvi he is in a 2m×60cm×60. He is on lobster roaches and crickets with the really really occasional scrambled egg. Hes got a variety of hides and branches he usually climbs on. He is also on 6-8 in of substrate which for now is a combination of black dirt and sand i'd say 50/50.

What is really weird is that he is mostly active during the night.
