Picked up my baby savanna monitor today!!! Named it David Bowie because space oddity was playing on the radio and were not sure if its male or female yet =P haha

This is the best pic I have right now.

Thanks guys =)

He's a tiny little guy and in a 40 gallon breeder while I build his adult enclosure.

Any tips on taming these guys? He's been chillin and getting use to his new home for a week or so and eating good, I'm gonna start working with him in another week =)

Also do they like dubia? The crickets are driving me crazy all night! Haha

he/she better have some ashes to ashes in the line up!
(great david bowie song if noone gets that)
id say if bowie eats crickets,dubias would be chowed as well.
i hate crickets,annoying,die fast and smell.id eat a dubia over a cricket any day.

Good advice in that link.

Follow it. "Their terms" is the best way to go about it. My ornatus is almost 3 years old and I can interact with him in his enclosure very well, but he will NOT let me pick him up. He doesn't like it, so I only do it when putting him into a new enclosure.

Lol! Thats awesome!

Yeah the crickets have been getting fed to everything will eat them sense they are driving me insane haha even my crawfish got a couple =P

Thanks for the link! I think that's one of the best pages I've seen for them so far. he is already calming down but I think I should use the tongs next time sense he got me finger.. he stopped and was like 'this doesn't taste right" and let go. good thing he's still little =)
