The Adventures of THING: *DU Warning

Isn't it annoying when they're picky - mine doesn't like any insect except locusts - we just don't seem to be able to get decent size roaches in the UK.

He doesn't like worms either :( Fussy monster!!

We're STILL in the process of building The Big Viv - it's going in what was our dining room (so who needs tables, chairs etc??? LOL) I can't move in there - the "viv in progress" is stuck right in the middle I don't think we've even got room to get out the furniture that is already there (looks for sledgehammer...)

I can so relate, it is kinda annoying he is such a picky picky monster.... it is one challenge I have found with this guy though....

Break out the sledge hammer, sometimes, you gotta make sacrifices. Even furniture.... :D yes, I know this from personal experience... hehehe

I got a question...does your sav slow down during the winter, do they have a shut down..cant remember if I actually read that they do or dont... if so, what difference should I be looking for to decide if he is or is'nt?

Well mine hasn't so far - (it'll only be his 2nd winter with us). I know tegus are supposed to go into brumation but I don't think savs do (I'm sure somebody'll correct me if I'm wrong!)

I'd be happy to break out the sledge-hammer - trouble is hubby is partial to the old wooden sideboard which is where the viv is going to go :(

nope, savannahs do not need a cooling period. keep his temps normal (130-140 basking and 75-80 cool) and he'll be fine.
