I was asked to do a talk through on my setup, hopefully this will be of help to you if your starting out or upgrading your viv to a bigger size.
I personally have to use lightweight materials as my setups are in my attic.

Good Luck

  • @MDFMONITOR I was planning using uv lights. But I was wondering about the uvb. Uvb bulbs are about twice as expensive if not more. Pending on the uvb levels and brand you buy.

  • @animalman04 i always use them, i just stick a spiral one in sometimes next to the basking lamp. :)

  • Is uvb lighting a must fot savanas? I have read a few things online saying it is not because of their diet. Do you know if this is true? Do you use uvb or just uv lighting in your cages?

  • @animalman04 i would stick it in, but many experience keepers have bred monitors without uv, not much more of a cost so why not!

  • Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated. I know people say dehydration but if he has a Huge water tub to soak & drink in I don't see how he could dehydrate? Thanks ahead of time

  • @TarantulamanNC it's due to the air they breath in, if they breath in 50% humidity hot air, then when they breath out it will start to dehydrate them basically, some of their tunnels will be 80/90% humidity allow them to keep hydrated.

    they can't take water in through the skin, it's got to be took in by food or drinking, very hard to re-hydrate a dehydrated lizard, hope this helps.:)

  • was it hard to set all of that up

  • Want to add sand/soil of he doesn't seem interested when it was on sand? I live in NC and we have high humidity for the most part & I have no prob with humidity in my enclosures with just heat & the big water tub

  • Question, I have a Sav almost 2ft & a baby. I use to keep my oldest on sand. He never even tried to dig like others speak of. He just walked around at times, ate great & that's about it. I now have him in a custom box I built 6ft by 4ft. I have a concrete mixing tub for his water. The Sav poops in it and that's about it. So far all I have is newspaper on top of a rubber liner I put down to keep water from getting on my wood. Every one mentions soil/sand; but if he doesn't dig why would I really
