So I have a visitor for a few days. Savannah monitor.

[Alter-Echo]

If she is with me longer than a month, I will upgrade her enclosure to something larger. As adults they still eat insects primarily? That has to be a lot of insects. LOL. She is in a 50 gallon right now. She uses every inch of it to. I wonder if there is something I can put in there for her to play with? She enjoys chasing the Dubias I put in there for sure. Also her water dish is large enough she can get in it.

Mine used to like pulling apart dried gourds to get at dubias hiding inside, and I used baskets and plastic balls with holes to hide food in as well. In the wild, Savannahs eat large numbers of insects, and have developed powerful jaws and crushing teeth they use to eat even hard shelled things like beetles. These guys get obese extremely easily, so lower fat protein that they need to catch themselves helps keep them healthy. Lean supplemental protein like fish and chicken are good choices too.
