Oh no ,not this again!Without Supporting the monitor first with proper husbandry ,diet is a mute point was all i was trying to convey.Giving the Sav a enclosure with limited airflow,a proper deep substrate,an appropriate basking temp and options of available temps,humidity and security ,diet is usually less of a concern other than feeding enough to meet their growth and reproductive requirements.Making all these things to work together takes some experience-sounds simple execution not so much.

Can this Sav rebound,it's hard to say-they are built to survive a certain amount of harsh conditions.But can we not agree this is not part of their natural life cycle we do not have to reproduce in captivity.
