goood vid just wanted to ask a few questions iv just got my bosc today and he was very cold so got him warming up now but he hasno white spots at all on his back, he looks like hes about to shed is it because of the shed or just coincidence plus is there anything i can do with out taking him out of his viv to help with the shedding as i want him to get to no his viv and iv read i shouldnt handle him for the first 2 weeks or so , (aside from misting the viv)
Hey i noticed my water monitor is suddenly bloated and more firm, he has been trying to hold back his puke and he is shaking a little... Can you give me any advice or thoughts as to what this might be.. Did your monitor get better?... Its possible that he swallowed a hair if so how can this be treated? Thx
@mudpup37 are you sure it's a male?? & are your temps good, basking spot ect 130/140 adult & 120/130f for a young monitor covering snout to vent. has any insects been gut loaded & dusted?
so many things it could be, more details might help , if he's really ill vets the best option!
Hi man luv ur vids on savs i have a female and shes a sweetheart but still huffs and puffs a bit what techniques would you recommend for more handling i spend about 2 hours a day with her thanks
@TheFlip617 I've always let them come to me or lead them to me with food! i use to sit in the cage & let them walk over me, just do it on their terms & you won't go far wrong! :)
I am thinking about getting myself a Bosc monitor lizard, already got a bearded dragon, but I want a bigger lizard lol, would you recommend I keep it away from my nephews who are pretty young, or are they tame a lot of the time.
nice setup and sav, was wondering how long it took for you to get your sav to start trusting you or at least show signs on progress towards you. ive got a 5 month old sav and its okay if its in its vivarium, i can stroke it and pick it up, but soon as its outside the vivarium on the ground it freaks out and trys to run away then hisses anddd tail whips
@shaun1987greenock i've just spent 6 months not touching my nile in anyway before she'd trust me enough to climb on my arm! lol it takes time & most don't like been touched in the early days :)
@MDFMONITOR cheers for reply. ive been hands on with him since i got him, i can see slight progress, as i can hand feed him and hes pretty gentle when taking it from my hand, but still freeks out alot if i try to take him out the viv
@shaun1987greenock if you look at my latest vid with the female nile, it will show you how long & what to do, savs should be faster than 212 days though!!
my savvy is a little bigger than this guy and i had a question do you know if the naturally have bad balance ? mine will just fall off off chairs and such when i let him wander my room he dosent get hurt but it seems odd
Sorry to hear about its no longer alive :( what an amazing creature you had tho ☺,when i get my own house i would love one but im going to make sure i know first what i need to do and thanks to this video its made me think thats its not as easy as buying a dog for example.
@MDFMONITOR haha, i would love to get one, but they grow so big, and their cages need to be huge, and my parents wouldnt be able to deal with all that money :p cuz im only 13
@MDFMONITOR Hey i just bought a savannah monitor 2 weeks ago, i wasnt looking for a pet when i bought him/her. i was at my local pet shop buying crickets for my tarantula and i saw a little lizard watching my every move so i bought the little guy (or girl) wich wasnt a good idea because i didnt know enough about them to look after him properly. i got h
@MDFMONITOR Hey i just bought a savannah monitor 2 weeks ago, i wasnt looking for a pet when i bought him/her. i was at my local pet shop buying crickets for my tarantula and i saw a little lizard watching my every move so i bought the little guy (or girl) wich wasnt a good idea because i didnt know enough about them to look after him properly. i got a heat matt basking light etc but i need to know everything you know so i can give him a good life thanks!
@MDFMONITOR i'm wondering how often do you feed your savs and what do you feed them. I have been searching for answers on google and vids but no accurate answer.and because you have a couple healthy mon. why not ask a pro
@TsS7VEN after £250.00 never really found out, more than likely he died due to my early monitor keeping days, when i had little clue what i was on with!! dehydration & to many mice probably sealed his fate long before i knew what was happening, that's life i'm afraid, so the message is don't over feed mice & make sure your basking spot flood is good at 125f to 140f depending on size!! & make sure that humidity is 60%!!
Finally, a sav video that does not make me sick to watch.... Great looking Bosc. Jumbo raw unpeeled shrimp make a better treat, and it's an arthropod. We feed ours dubia, shrimp, slugs, crayfish and night crawlers.
@Infernalis1 even this great looking sav didn't go passed 3 years, possibly due to crap basking surface temp in it's youth & to many mice in the 1st year ( my early learning years) , learn from my mistakes & feed that lovely diet you have listed above, don't forget gut load food before feeding & dust every feed with pure calcium for insects /bugs & vit d twice a week, then again you probably know that all ready!! :)
Nice video! i have wanted a savannah monitor for a very long time but my parents wont let me get it because of how big it gets. i will be getting one soon when i move out. can someone plz give me any tips on them and how much the food and everything cost?
Hmm how would I go about with the hand training since mine is in a Glass aquarium. Putting my hand over the top is hard and trying to feed him crickets at the same time. What would you suggest? Check my video and see what I am trying.
@reptileboii44 this is a their defence, trying to put you off handling him/her, if you leave them alone they;ll eventually come round, just keep tong feeding & they get used to you over time, force handle & this can cause them stress & if there's any under lying problems from their CF trip this can make these problems worst, just let them come to you nice & easy over time.!! :)
hello , really liked your vid , i have a 5-6 month old sav but as soon as i put my hand in his viv he gets his tail ready to whip me and as i move my hand towards him he hisse's whips me and runs away once i get him out he is a little calmer but then the next day he is exactly the same , i get him out every day and try to handle him as i have been doin for the last 3-4 months but he hasnt changed abit , any advice would be amazing :)
@connor51100 & it is likely your sav will carry on doing this whilst your grabbing him/her, their smart look for ways to get rid of you!!
follow my latest vid, it shows me taking 50 days to get my nile feeding over my hand/arm, a sav once it's used to been out in front of you can usually be led onto you hand with-in a week or two. Trust is the key to so called taming & you've got to have something they want in this case food!, good luck':)
@oblivionps3fan Well i always thought he was 38" long, but turned out to be 34" long & they grow all their life so a 20 year sav may be over 4 foot, not that you'll see one lol, young 4 foots are usually over weight.
Hello everyone I just posted a new re-run video of my nile monitor and box turtle that actually has audio in it! so please go to my channel and check it out and also if you like be sure to like it and suscribe! i'll be making future reptile vids so it'll help if you did suscribe, thanks!
can i aaaask.... are you a animal trainer person? :P and have you always liked the monitor lizards? :D have you DREAMEDDD of raising a lizard like this oneee? :P anyway! Awesome, thats one cute lizard! hehe
@jacob9853109 the cage is built in my loft into the rafters, as they grow from a young imported sav they cost a lot of money in insects & bugs to get through the 1st year, after that the bill goes down slightly!, but yes their a big commitment. :)
nice to see somebody doing things right on here. thats a cute lil guy and im sorry for your loss. i would love to get a sav but i dont believe i have enough time and space for one yet.when the time is right though we shall meet.
hey how much eperience would you say i would need for these awsome reptile cause i wanna get a lizzard and leopard geckos and that are good beginers ones so i just wated to know how gard they are to take care of thanks :)
@Rebelegend best 1st monitor is the ackie, but cost more up front, but save you loads in elec costs & food down the line, they stay about 18/24" & move like lightning when settled in!!
can anyone suggest a monitor species around the size of a savhanna or at least no more than 5 ft that is not that hard to keep ...the idieal size would be a savhanna but i want something with a more monitor like face :p i plan on getting one maybe in a couple of years
thats a serious amount of basking lamps lol, ive got a bearded dragon and 1 basking lamp is enough to bring it up to the right temp, what kind of temperature does a monitor need?!
@DOORS20 depending where you go a petstore will run you about 50 bucks for that many crickets your best off looking on line to see if theirs a vendor thatll ship to where you live or finding out if you have a reptile/animal expo close to you like the scott smith all animal expo in illinois/wiscons thats were i go and i only pay 15 bucks for 1500 oh and ordering off the internet depending on shipping runs about 30 bucks for 1500 not sure if you can order smaller amounts that way
@DOORS20 at a petstore about 50 bucks you could order off the internet for about 15 this is for 1500 not sure if you can get smaller batches but shipping depending where you are and so on is 15 your best off trying to find a reptile/animal expo in your area like in illinois/wiscons you have the scott smith all animal expo there its 15 bucks for 1500
@DOORS20 As they grow ( up to 1st year) they can go through 500 plus large crickets a week & 6 plus mice as well, i've got 3 ackies now, more entertainment & a 3rd of the feeding bill, just cost a lot up front!! :)
@MDFMONITOR Thanks! He gives him a mouse once a week and roaches the rest of the time. I understand that they eat lots of bugs in the wild. Does that sound right?
@DOORS20 ive got a savannah monitor that just hit 36 and a half inches and it runs me 20-25 bucks to feed him for 2-3 mounths for his mice soon to be 30-35 for rats again finding a animal expo is the best way to shop for lizards and most reptiles and birds i personaly have my monitor 5 breadies 6 lepard geckos 2 red iguanas 3 toads and 2 painted turtles and a red ear slide even with all of them i pay about 95 bucks every 2 mounths
i seriously want a monitor but i want to make sure i can have a nice place for him to stay would you reccomend building an area because i realy dont want a glass setup thanks inadvance any info is much appreciated
@FrankyProductionsInc alot of money, their cheap to buy, but the up keep is a lot of money, but ackies cost a lot to buy up front, but little cost in feeding & caging after. :)
@MDFMONITOR Thanks for the help. I really want a Savannah monitor but i just dont think i can handle the upkeep cost right now. So i guess im just going to have to keep admiring them at the reptile shows.
are u scared??? lureing it with food just grab him and spend more time with him not with ur little duties and partys and he will end up likeing u and wont bite anymore

@MrElliotGear 2/3x 50w line of halogen spot flood 30 degree angle does the trick, upto about 24" 120/130f
, 24" on 130/140f depending on the monitors choice.:)

@DOORS20 depending where you go a petstore will run you about 50 bucks for that many crickets your best off looking on line to see if theirs a vendor thatll ship to where you live or finding out if you have a reptile/animal expo close to you like the scott smith all animal expo in illinois/wiscons thats were i go and i only pay 15 bucks for 1500 oh and ordering off the internet depending on shipping runs about 30 bucks for 1500 not sure if you can order smaller amounts that way

@DOORS20 at a petstore about 50 bucks you could order off the internet for about 15 this is for 1500 not sure if you can get smaller batches but shipping depending where you are and so on is 15 your best off trying to find a reptile/animal expo in your area like in illinois/wiscons you have the scott smith all animal expo there its 15 bucks for 1500

@MDFMONITOR Thanks! He gives him a mouse once a week and roaches the rest of the time. I understand that they eat lots of bugs in the wild. Does that sound right?

what would you say your average upkeep cost on a Savannah monitor is?
FrankyProductionsInc 10 months ago
@FrankyProductionsInc alot of money, their cheap to buy, but the up keep is a lot of money, but ackies cost a lot to buy up front, but little cost in feeding & caging after. :)
MDFMONITOR 10 months ago
@MDFMONITOR Thanks for the help. I really want a Savannah monitor but i just dont think i can handle the upkeep cost right now. So i guess im just going to have to keep admiring them at the reptile shows.

Love ur monitor... thinking about getting one myself. Few questions tho ;D
Anyway, do you ever have to worry about cutting his nails?
Where did you get him?
How big is the cage and what do you feed him?
And how big should the cage be for a grown out savannah monitor?
Hope for an answer ;D
Thank you

Now that's a proper pet, one that wouldn't embarrass me to take out for a walk in the park, I can even feed it babies and small dogs that annoy me.
