    Savannahs don't do well in tanks. You should look into a cage that can hold humidity and dirt and hides. They also get quite large, much larger than a tank would ever accomidate.

    4x2x2 for a juvie and 8x4x4 for an adult are the commonly accepted minimum enclosure sizes for a Sav.
    Like wolfy-hound stated "Savannahs" don't do well in tanks" so custom,waterproofed, wooden enclosures are all id recommend

    Re: what size tank can i keep a savahna monitor

    I wouldn't recommend you get one at all. How many other reptiles do you have? Do you have previous monitor experience? Based upon your english I would be willing to guess you are either young- and this is a bad pet for you. Or you are uneducated/foreign and too lazy to do basic research for basic spelling so you can get the name right.

    Frankly, there are a lot of places online that will tell you fish tanks are awful for monitors, and none of them will work for keeping a monitor. Hell there's a thread just a couple down explaining why fish tanks are bad. If you can't do that kind of basic research into the possibility of owning a bosc. You aren't ready for one.

    Are uneducated and foreign now synonymous?

    This guy's reply would have done a lot better without the harshness. Not impressed.

    No, however it is another option for what this guy may possibly be. If you are foreign and didn't bother to google to figure out how to correctly spell the basic name of the animal- you are unedcuated.

    Could care less if you are impressed. I'm here for the monitors sake, not the OP nor yours.

    ^ You're a real winner.

    From my short time here, and from what I understand, this forum is full of helpful, kind people. You could have told this fellow the reasons why a Savannah Monitor is hard to take care of and why tanks are not appropriate for these animals, instead of attacking his spelling mistakes, and accusing him of either being young, or a possible foreign/uneducated person.

    This forum seems to pride itself on its non-discriminatory (age, ethnicity) nature.

    Maybe you haven't been around long enough to figure this out..

    Totaly agree, if more people thought of the animal insted of the OP's feelings,
    the animals will be better off.
    Sometimes you have to be blunt and direct, in this world of extream stubborness.
