    Re: Tub set up for baby Savvy
    There are people breeding savs, argus, orante, crocodile,etc. They don't breed for the money, they breed because they love the animals and know that captive bred anything is better than wild caught anything. They thrive in captivity better, get used to people better and don't come full of parasites and are weakened by starvation and stress.

    Yes, they cost more than wild caught but are by far worth it. I could have purchased an imported Nile for $50. Instead, I bought a captive bred Ornate for $250. Much better lizard, perfect in every way. He's 8 months old and is moving out of his 5x2 into his next home - an 8x4, which will last til he's almost 5 feet.

    Newspaper? You've got to be kidding. "Kept savs for years". Sounds like a bunch of 'em, that didn't last very long. My first Nile lived to be over 16...
