My sister owns the Savannah monitor, not me, so I'm posting up this for her to look back at once I get some answers. She is very concerned. Her Savannah monitor used to eat like a pig, now he's just refusing everything. He also seems to be getting lazier, so I'm thinking he's going into brumation. The temps stay in the 90s during the day, and he does bask. He is in shed as well.

He is housed in a 20 gallon enclosure (he's still a baby). He has a UVB and basking bulb, large enough water dish for him to fit in, hide, basking log, and Cypress Mulch for a substrate. His diet consists of mainly crickets (dusted with Calcium powder) and fuzzy mice. Everyday we feed him as many crickets as he will eat, and if he is still hungry we feed him fuzzy mice. We feed him once a day, though as much as he can eat until he refuses. The water dish is changed daily, and whenever he defecates it is cleaned up immediately. We also feed him ground turkey once a week. We've tried feeding him mealworms and superworms but he doesn't like neither. He will SOMETIMES eat the superworms, but he'll only take one. We mist his enclosure to keep the Cypress from drying out, and to keep the humidity where it should be.

We did get him from LLLReptile at the reptile expo, the same day I got my Beardie. Last week we noticed these very white bugs on him, but I'm not sure if it came from the Cypress or it came with him. I do have some stuff to get rid of this bug if it happens to be an external parasite. His poop is normally solid as well.

So, not sure if it has anything to do with husbandry or maybe those bugs. I'm thinking he's going into brumation since he is refusing food and mostly inactive.
