Introducing Littlefoot & Cera (Savannah Monitors)

[infernalis]

So now I finally have my reptile room back in decent shape, I decided to let Littlefoot out for about 20 minutes to explore.



He remembers that he used to be able to go behind his enclosure, but I blocked it all off before I let him out. He tries in vain to get back there.

The most impressive part of this photo, he is attempting to climb a pane of tempered glass I have for building another enclosure, so he is supporting almost all of his weight with his tail! (The albino garter snake takes great interest in what is going on.)



When he attempted to grab onto the totebox lid, he fell over, just as the flash captured the fall half way through. (spooking the snake too)



Surely, there must be another way to get back there...



The whole time he was out, someone had to watch from the "balcony"

Those are great pics! I really love every time you update this thread. It's so nice to see savs being kept properly and is just a further reminder that I won't be ready for one any time in the near future. Keep up the good work!

So cool seeing these two grow, will they give you babies too one day?

If not, I'll be looking for a female in the spring.

Well I love this thread so I look forward to seeing when they have babies haha

Will you incubate outside of this enclosure? I think it would be cool to let them go naturally and be surprised by little ones ruining around!

It would be cool, but I want to film the eggs pipping, and I don't want to risk not one baby getting eaten.

************************************************

Cera let me handle her twice tonight, even rested on my arm for a little bit. No bites, no tail whips!!

So as a reward, I let her out to roam. Took measurements too.

Littlefoot is 30 inches long, Cera is 27 inches long.

I got a few pictures... (unfortunately, not while on my arm.)

Cera on the way out.



You looking at me???



So after I put Cera back, Littlefoot got a turn....



This one turned out weird, mouth open, nictitating membrane closed..



And what would a photo shoot be without a tripod shot??

Can't forget Littlefoot.. He poses so nice.
