    I would definitely suggest reading up on the links I posted earlier. Tegus are omnivorous and eat both meat and fruit. Savannah Monitors are primarily insectivores and the majority of their diet in the wild consists of insects and snails. They do not eat fruit, nor do they eat ground turkey and should not be fed mostly rodents.

    As all Savannah Monitors on the market today are wild caught or farmed and then sold by wholesalers, finding a healthy baby is doubtful.

    As I wrote to you on the other forum, I would do some research as to diet, housing requirements, overall cost to keep, temperature, humidity and decide which best fits into your own lifestyle. Based on your replies it's not quite looking like you've done that yet.
