New Savannah Monitor

[thehakeber]

good call on the center block:)

[1992pattrow]

No offense but you tank is shit. Not the set up so much but the gallon choice. Every reptile keeper knows that width is just as important as length. A 55 gallon id 4 feet long but only 13 inches wide. Try a 75 gallon. Still only 4 feet long but about 2 feet wide.

[packraptor1]

@1992pattrow he's now in a 6'x3'x2' custom cage now

[1992pattrow]

@packraptor1

Nice. I am putting a baby sav in a 125 gallon soon. He wont be there for long till I have to upgrade. I will eventually make him a 6x4x2.

[UROMASTYXKEEPER]

@1992pattrow BTW a 75 gallon 4x18x24is only 18" wide. a 4x2x2 is 120 gallons. I do not own any Varanus however these cages would be far from Ideal for these animals

[1992pattrow]

@1992pattrow

Not when it is fully grown. A 120 gallon would be great for a sub adult though.

[johnny66636]

gay music for the ending and the video sucked

[AnimalExpert1000]

how do you disinfect stick and logs

[drabramow]

where did you get the tank

[nogatsira]

"After months of research" No offense but no way you had months of research.

How warm is his basking spot? How deep is that soil? =/

As you said, he likes to burrow ... at least give him a chance and a monitor that size could really use some humid 1 feet deep soil.

Trying to help you out here, not trashtalking.

[packraptor1]

@nogatsira

If you check out my newer videos, you can see that he now has a 6 ft x 3 ft x 2 ft enclosure with roughly 1 ft deep soil, a 110 degree basking spot, and plenty of humidity, since I keep my room at a certain humidity for him and my iguana.

[nogatsira]

checked it out now, sorry bout my comment, ur taking good care of him:)

[JackoToonLad]

@packraptor1 i know its a year late but 100 degrees is way to cool, by now your monitor will be near full grown and should have 140-150 degree basking spot :)

[packraptor1]

@JackoToonLad He's got the right temps now :P

[Dreamstate7711]

That's a nice Setup, welldone. :D

[xxxtmoneyxxx8]

[LIZERDfreaK5000]

[123betts]

[123betts]

how much that cage cost

[packraptor1]

This particular tank he's using in this vid was $50 on sale at Petsmart.

[Minitrkr21]

Pretty kool setup......I'm building a custom cage for mine....he's outgrowing his tank.....but hey keep it up

[TheJaded]

Nice savvy. Love the music at the ened, it's like "Haa attack the little hoppy things."

[packraptor1]

Thanks :)

[nami369]

[packraptor1]

Reptile expo.

[lockster96]

[packraptor1]

[lizzeredman]

[not4emo]

[littlebrittle18]

[wildlifewarrior1]

where did you get the tank ....? i want one and cant find a big tank to buy for it.... =(

[packraptor1]

I got the tank from Petsmart. It's usually about $100 around my house, but I was lucky and got one for $50 since it had been returned or something.

[lgking123]

that all

[anthrax2412]

it looks kl but the dvds lookgay

[megalosaurus14]

luv it!

[Scottymaxx]

not bad, you dont need a solid top. it is better but not needed. he will hit a growth spurt soon. when you feed him crickets like that only put in a few at a time. with some lizards it can over stress them. but otherwise not bad. he will get big, and make sure you handle him with care and atleast once a day.

[linkhomes]

my tank stays around 90-95 during the day and as low as 60 at night. i also use screen lids with latches on the side and only half my tank is sand the other is green turf. i feed him 3 mice and 75 large crickets every other day and he is happy and healthy.

[ilikemyexoticpets]

thats a nice tank =]

[tuki1boo]

nice set up man im sure what u got is gd enough to start off with. research is basic u dont have to kno there moms and dads history just enough to take gd care of it

[xownedux]

By the looks of your set up you did about a week of research. You need a solid top and dirt substrate along with a 130 degree basking spot that im sure you dont have

[dad133]

i just got a water dragon lizard rock!!!

[astrophysicist42]

cool lizard i still say u shulda named him fluffy

[MutatedIguana]

He is so cute and cool! He even has a skull in there!

[DiabloItaliano117]

That's awesome! I've always wanted a monitor lizard like that!

[mhoe69]

well done

[gckbowers411]

that croc gustave is probably the one that inspired Primeval the movie

[packraptor1]

Yup. The croc in the movie is supposed to be Gustave.

[tony459DBZy2j]

Matt is that you

[Yoshi5111]

Great setup. Love the name. He is cute. Look forward to seeing more of him. 5 *.

[packraptor1]

Thanks. Compliments like that coming from someone who takes such good care of their sav gives me lots of confidence. :D

[heathcom2]

its food maybe like "run it godzilla!" XD

[packraptor1]

I had to change his feeding enclosure because the crickets kept running away and jumping out of his first one. lol

[yourevor]

whered you get that skull at 0:12.

[faitiana]

Very nice setup and beautiful savannah 5 stars

[packraptor1]

Thanks for the comment. I love your Zeus and Hades. It feels so good to hear such a compliment coming from a savannah expert like you.

[roboraptor10]

I've got that skull in my fish tank.
