Of the few people I know that were successful with Savs. Most found out that there were very few good keepers to get babies too.



Also, the chase to get it right is not a gradual thing. Most somehow think because there is so much failure, that getting it right comes a little at a time. That is far from what actually happens.



What happens is, once you barely get it right, the flood gates open and your swamped with offspring. Monitors that have medium to larger clutches can lay so many eggs its not funny.



You say, a few good keepers, but getting it right with savs means, a potential of around a hundred offspring. What if you have three females and get it right? your done in.



More often then not, I simply do not dig up eggs, but that too is not easy on the old brain. It all works on you. If only a few would pop out of the ground every so often. That would be enough and great. Cheers
