Savannah monitor questions

[Skiploder]

I rescued a Savannah monitor last months and up until a couple weeks ago he was fine. The Guy I got him from had him in a cage made out of 2x4s and chicken wire, and the monitor got stuck between the wood and chicken wire and just tore his back apart. Since ive had him ive bathed him every 2-3 days and put neosporin on his back after he's dried off and he's healing nicely. However he hasn't eaten in almost 3 weeks. I try to feed him a hard boiled egg every 2 days and a mouse once a week as well as some crickets and dubias throughout the wee. Any suggestions on what to do?

What size set up is he in?

What is the basking temp and how are you achieving it?

What type of substrate are you using and how deep is it?

Your monitor needs several things to thrive. The most important are space, security, an overhead basking temp over 130 degrees in the hot spot and a deep, dig-gable substrate that will hold humidity.

If he is not feeling secure, if he does not have enough room, if your basking site temps are too low and if you have not provided him with the appropriate substrate - he will fail to thrive in the long run.
