David Bowie

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.

Hope he has a big enclosure. Very cute!

Congrats! hes really cute :)

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 =) http://tapatalk.com/mu/48dcca76-dc89-c78a.jpg
