ive been through quit alot with my monitor the last couploe weeks I LOVE THIS SITE but if you have issues with your SAVANNAH MONITOR i would go to Spoiler savannahmonitors.org we have no care sheets here on this species Mod Edit: I understand that some of the forums on the site are not as active as others, and that the site is not NEARLY as active as it once was due to some technical issues and some things I'm not at liberty to discuss - but it is againt the forum rules to post links to other forum based websites. Besides, taking activity to another site will only make it that much harder for ours to recover and for forums such as this one to maintain any sort of population - JeffreH
