Savannahs can be good pets as long as they are handled often and have a large enclosure and things to do. They are intelligent and need enrichment, most of their bad rap comes from people who keep them in small tanks and feed them live rats for entertainment, then expect them to be as sweet as a bearded dragon. I found that that for mine, an 8ft by 4ft by 4ft custom plexi cage seemed to be enough with frequent roaming time. Also, feeding a diet of mostly large insects with the occasional rodent kept mine from becoming obese as many do, and chasing dubias and hissers around the cage and finding the hidden ones gave him something to do.
