I have a 15 month old female savannah monitor she was acting sluggish. She's normally a berserker (she killed a tank mate once). Took her to the vet and got her dewormed, and they told me I needed to put a UVB light on her. Since I just use a regular light bulb on her cage. So they also did blood work to determine if she was calcium defecient. They were pretty sure thats what it was.



Well her test results were in: calcium levels normal, glucose normal, phosphorus normal. Everythng normal all the way across the board.



Just using a regular light bulb. No fancy UVB lights. With that particular lizard, I just feed dubia roaches, crickets and rodents. I gut load the insects I do not sprinkle any calcium or vitamins on the prey items.



Its hot where I live this time of year...that may be why she was sluggish...don't know... at least she is dewormed now.
