I really like what you did with his enclosure! One thing I would like to add is that they require basking spots of around 120 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. This helps them be able to properly digest food as well as have a good metabolism throughout the day. Many savannah monitor keepers including me stand by this and don't have any problems with our Savannah's when it comes to heating. Just a bit of advice that could really help you out 👍. If you think otherwise I would love to hear why so maybe I can better myself as a savannah monitor keeper.
The Heat emitters can move up/down to increase or decrease the temperature. When he lays on there Him being a few inches in height i have seen temps of 115. I originally had it around 120ish, but found he was ignoring the basking area and only when I lowered it would he stay and bask for more then 1-2 min. Of course as he grows in size he will feel hotter temps. What I can try is slowly over the time of 3 days lowering the heat emitters to achieve that temperature range and monitor his behavior.
@@Animal1Guy ok, that's good. I just miss understood how hot he would get being a few inches higher. By the way he looks great and I wish you great success with him!
if you do a bioactive set up add lots of leaf litter into the soil mix to feed your isopods and springtails. Add some hearty plants and a bio shot to start the right bavterial and fungal biodegraders.
Hi - This is off-topic, but I was looking at some other reptile channels and a woman gave a rescue bearded dragon Pedialyte for rehydration and electrolytes, and then some chicken baby food. On another channel a man gave his bearded dragons B-complex vitamins and swore that it helps with shed. I was just wondering what your take was on their ideas? Thank you.

Very discriptive 👍 thank you
You are very welcome
I just got a savanna monitor from the reptile Expo in Anaheim yesterday

good tips!
Such a docile giant
he is!
How do you change his water? The tub must be mega heavy to carry it out.
You buy that from KAGES? I’m waiting on a 5’x2’x2’
Yes i did!
Did you build this or did you buy this? It's the exact size and style I want my Sav enclosure. I'm assuming that it's made out of PVC?
Bought Yes its pvc
How long would he need to be in a tank this size? or is this his final Enclosure?
this can be his final set up. He is on the larger size for a male and this is fine. He just chills most of the day so its perfect
What a pretty skink.

Pedialyte works! I have not had to look into B-complex
Where did you get it
local pet store
@@Animal1Guy Can you link where you got enclosure
