proof of what?
My point was that we should be dealing with the reality of the situation and the studies not prejudice and conjecture.
There are plenty of obeese sav's to prove the point, and there have been a few successful breeding's of sav's fed mainly invert diet that have been published.
To me the proof that we are doing a flat out lousy job with these guys is that there is NOT much successful breeding of this species.
I would disagree that most people are keeping them properly and feeding inverts, from what I see 90% or more are kept undermatabolised and fed rodents. How does just recommending rodents as a base diet help promote proper care of this species?
I do not keep sav's anymore, but have bred monitors to many generations and keep several species that are considered "specialized".
Perhaps you can tell me why an all rodent diet is best and show your reasoning for thinking so.
Where are the sav's that are fed an all rodent diet that are breeding? If rodents are a magic bullet where is your proof?
