I'll be glad to help! For my Savannah monitor I keep two basking spots, one at 130 degrees and one at 115 degrees. My hot side of the cage is usually 85- 90 degrees ambient air temperature, and my cool side is about 75- 80 degrees ambient air temperature. At night, the basking lights shut off by a timer, and the whole cage will remain at 75- 80 degrees ambient air temperature. I keep my humidity at a steady 55% regularly, and at 70% when in shed. As a main diet, I feed night crawlers, dubia roaches, super worms, rat pups (Once a week), and canned snails. Savannah monitor babies should be fed every day, but as they get older you can feed a little bit less often, like every other day. About once a month, I feed hard boiled eggs to my Savannah monitor as a treat, and should not be given on a regular basis.

Hope that helps some, good luck when you get yours!
