Savannah's will always hold a place in my heart. Years ago (back in the 90's), I had a couple of them and they were quite large. They had their own room that was climate controlled and would get to walk around the house. I got Savannah's because my mom (who got me into reptiles when I was a little girl) wanted a lizard that can roam free, but Green Iguanas were a handful. One of them died from fatty liver disease. A friend of mine is a vet and she performed a necropsy on him. I followed the books on what to feed them. Mice, chicken, turkey, canned dog food (they shit like a fire hose), etc. A lot of digging, I learned that what I was feeding them was all wrong and it was my fault he died. In the late 90's, I went into the AOL reptile chat room and mentioned that Savanna's should be fed insects, snails, and such, instead of rodents as a staple. Melissa Kaplan posted a sticky announcement that no one should listen to what I say. That I don't know what I'm talking about and that feeding them rodents, chicken, etc. as a staple was okay. About month later, Reptiles Magazine did a spread about Savannah's and their dietary requirements. Vindication! For the past few years, I've wanted to get another big lizard. I have the space to build a huge cage. Now, I am going back and forth between another Savannah or a Rhino Iguana.

Good ol know it all Melissa Kaplan. The original reptile info queen. We’ve all been there as young keepers and it’s good that you learned from your mistakes and tried to teach others. Honestly Savannahs are making a huge come back in the community so getting into them again could be a good thing. People are working on proving out different patterns or morphs of them so soon their price will be going up and make them less affordable. Rhino iguanas are impressive but seen to take more work than Savannahs to tame. Both will make rewarding animals to keep. You should watch our green iguana video just for fun hah. Good luck on your future animal endeavors. 👊🏼

I'm still a reptile keeper but have scaled down a bit. I'm looking to get back into larger species and the Roughneck, Asian Water and Nile are on my short list.

Hey, I wanna ask. So, is having a pet Green Iguana a good idea? or is it a handful?
@NatureInYourFace
@NatureInYourFace 6 ай бұрын
If you've never owned an iguana, they can be a handful for several reasons....they can grow to a large size, particularly the males. If they're not handled regularly, they are prone to tail whipping and sometimes even biting, as they can be territorial. they also have different personalities, one might be very gentle and never display defensive behavior and another might be the complete opposite. In general, if you can provide them with a large enough enclosure and you can spend some time each day picking up your iguana and allowing it to become used to human interaction, they can make awesome and rewarding pets. They just need a little work. We made a full episode on iguanas as pets, check it out before you buy an iguana! Thanks for asking.

Supposedly, Ornate Nile monitors are generally less defensive but it is possible to tame down "regular" Nile monitors. I raised two hatchlings that ended up super sweet. I handled them daily and by the time they were 5 feet long they were like puppy dogs. The fact is, no matter which one you end up getting, you'll have to work with it everyday to get it to tame down.

Our monitors are fed a variety of food. Rats can be high in fat so they do get them but maybe 10 a month. We also feed whole chicken drumsticks, cut chicken, pheasant chicks, medium to adult quail and fish like tilapia, perch or catfish. You could even do ground Turkey on occasion with supplements. Turkey is just a bit messier however.

It depends on the species....regardless, even the most defensive monitors, as you saw in the video, such as the African Nile monitor, can be trained to be friendly if you put in the time and effort.

If you get another one, give it a huge enclosure, good low fat diet (no rats), hot basking spots and you'll end up with a healthy, happy monitor. Give it lots of dirt! They love to dig and tunnel.

Nike monitor? We have an Adidas monitor! 🤣 Nile monitors are one of the more difficult species to handle in captivity due to their defensive behavior. The only way to tame them down is to handle them when they're small. If you don't there's a point where it becomes too dangerous. A bite from a large one can cause serious injuries and a whip from their tail is also no joke. If your monitor is young put on a pair of thick gloves and pick it up as often as possible. I've had several super tame Nile monitors that started out crazy but tamed down nicely. Be patient, it can take a while! Thanks for your question.

Asian Water Monitors are the second largest lizard in the world by mass, and Black Throats are the 3rd. But because Water Monitors have such a long and muscular tail, while the Black Throat's power is all in the body and head, it gives the illusion the black throats are much larger. This is something that I have always thought and watching this wonderful video confirmed my theory to an extent that I couldn't even imagine! That Asian Water Monitor looks like a baby compared to that giant BEAST!

It's interesting that you bring up the size of these monitors. We actually debated this topic somewhat because of the differing opinions regarding which one is considered larger. There's a ton of contradictory information in the literature but from our experience as well as reading reputable sources I think we got it right! Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed our video!

@@NatureInYourFace ah mustve missed it, do you guys happen to have a full depth in care guide. cause for the most part you guys stated a lot of issues with monitors that include the same issues with savannahs . just recently got my baby and have experience with adult tegus and baby niles and previously failed savannahs due to them being imports and dying, so thought i try get back into it since savannahs are really amazing and it being later in 2000 should be a lot more captive bred savannahs unlike 2015-18. you guys seem to obviously doing very well so just a whole in depth guide of that species would be amazing, I already on planning on not feeding any meat products to my baby until late juvi stage then maybe get light in protein meats like birds like quail and turkey and raw egg and quail eggs. just lmk what you guys think.

@@popeyethesailorman75 You kind of answered your own question. There's really no reason to talk about them as captives when they cannot be kept legally, outside of a zoo. How is it possible that several people were eaten by their pet Komodo dragons when you admitted that they can't be kept as pets? People who live on Komodo Island are occasionally killed by them but not pet owners. Thank you for commenting.

It is the largest extant species of lizard, with the males growing to a maximum length of 3 m (9.8 ft) and weighing up to 150 kg (330 lb).
