This is what worries me. You have a plan, which is very good, build a large cage, put monitors in it. Simple. Do it.
If you see another sav about the same size, but appears a little different, then you have a shot at a different sex. Go for it.
Heres the deal, male savs are much larger then females, females, should be dropping eggs at about 20 inches long, TOTAL LENGHT. Males will develop red eyes. Females don't. Males will have wide shoulders and narrow hips, unless obese. Females tend to have wide hips and narrow shoulders.
Take a guess and go for it. You are female, yes? then use you feelings, I am sure you will have a very strong feeling about what sex is what. Which I think is far more accurate then other methods of guessing. Remember, you can only miss by one. There is only two sides to this coin. Male or female.
Anyway, no need to make all manner of plans for failure, Go for it with plans to succeed. Succeeding takes work, to fail is simple and easy, work at it, do not plan to fail.
ALso, if all your going to do is one attempt, then forget about it. Normally we that succeed, fail a lot first.
There was another wonderful lady that came here a while back, she had doubts about her attempts at keeping monitors. We talked on the phone, and I eased her fears. I said, are you going to try hard to keep these animals healthy and living. She said yes, I then asked what do you think going to happen to them if you do not get them? she said, they will die. Thats the answer, they are destined to die, if your going to put an effort to prevent that, then do it. If they die in your care, thats what would have occured anyway. Hmmmmmm Sad, but true. Remember, you are not taking them from nature, your taking them for a petshop. Where they will die.(again, numbers)
That you are willing to build that cage tells me, your going to put forth an effort, which most do not. GO for it. And if your not female, go for it anyway. hahahahahaha sorry but I don't pay attention as to what sex the posters are.
