She is gorgeous! I want a sav monitor soooo bad, they've been my favorite herp since I was a kid. But I don't have the space or funds for an appropriate cage, some day...

In the meantime I got three Carolina/green anoles.

Thank you! She's been my favorite animal since I got her. She was a tiny hatchling and grew faster than you can imagine. A Savannah monitor would require a large enclosure - an 8x4x4 would be good. For my lizard right now that's what she is living in right now (it's actually 7 feet tall though) with a circulated 20 gallon pond, an additional 20 gallons in the sump tank along with a Fluval 406 canister filter, 2 feet deep of soil and sand, large river rocks to bask on, a couple of trees that I cut down to provide climbing space, and yet it won't be enough room in another year! I'll need to upgrade her to basically a small room when I move after school.

All that said, once you can get past the housing requirements, they sure are interesting animals...sure they don't like to cuddle but just watching them watch you, and believe me they do watch you....always keeping an eye on you wondering what you're up to It's a lot of fun.

Those are some nice looking crested geckos! Do you keep those two together?

Funny! I still haven't ordered my frogs yet. I do have a carpet chameleon, an ambilobe panther chameleon, and a leopard gecko (didn't include the picture)
