Pretty cool. You should add fake plants to the backdrop. :D
Re: Savannah monitor set up
you may want to consider using a retes stack or something similar of your own design under the hotspot.
Re: Savannah monitor set up
That looks great!
However, For an adult, I'd make the cage at least six feet long. Ideally, eight feet long.
I'd also use a real rock basking platform, it hold the heat better, making the ambient temperature in the cage lower. Remember, basking spots will need to be 110 degrees and above.

The way I make the fake rock is with styrofoam covered in grout and then I seal it, so it is like a big hollow rock. Ive used the same idea for beardies who need 110 degree basking temps so it should not be a problem.

Re: Savannah monitor set up
I think you should consider a dirt/sand mix at some point they do like to burrow.
Re: Savannah monitor set up
I may later, but for now I want to keep it simple. The bed a beast is already about three inchs deep so if he wants to dig he has alot of space!
Re: Savannah monitor set up
That looks nice. You can always add sand, dirt or cypress to the bed a beast. Looks like he's going to be a happy little monitor. :)
I'd consider adding more places to hide. When they are young, they can be a little skittish.
When are you getting him/her? :D
Re: Savannah monitor set up
Sand sounds fine to ad. I just want him to be a little older so I do not have to worry about impaction.
He will be here tomorrow:)
