    Re: Savannah Monitor as a first time monitor

I want to know from sav owners, are they hard to care as babies temperament wise, and are they hard to tame. Food and caging is not an issue. I love reptiles and I am really thinking of getting a sav in the future, but is it okay to get one of these beautiful lizards as a first time monitor. If they are not, plz tell what other monitors are good to start out with.
    Plz reply, all comments and replies r appreciated

    p.s. I have lizard experience but not with monitors
    thnk you
    Stick to ackies and tristis as first monitors. The front page of this sub-forum has enough posts to get this point across to even the most casual reader:

    Savs are not first time monitors.

    Most people do not have bad experiences (compared to how the animal ultimately fares). People who don't do their homework, don't buy from reputable resources and don't do their due diligence and then end up completely underestimating the time and expense that goes into properly keeping these animals.






    If I had a dollar for every one who claimed food and caging were not an issue..............
