Re: another question
I use soil for my monitors. A mixture of topsoil (no fertilizers..soil only), fine vermiculite, and playsand. The monitors love it.
For monitors you need a substrate that is deep enough for them to dig in and something that holds a burrow.
Scroll to proexotics FAQ section on Lizards....there is tons on info there, I would suggest reading through the whole section:
http://www.proexotics.com/FAQ.html
Here is a good read on substrate for monitors from the FAQ:
http://www.proexotics.com/FAQ2.html#19
...and since you have a sav. here is a part of the FAQ specifically about savs.

Hope that helps.
