Hi again, I`m only asking questions, hoping to get some answers!
I can tell you that when varanids brumate, they lose very little weight.
Savannah monitors are active for around 8 months or so (maybe more in some parts of their range), so I ask again; why would keeping them active year round be detrimental, or on the other hand, why would it be beneficial to brumate them?
Please explain why those prey items are natural (they don`t find crayfish, crabs or shrimps in the African savannahs), but rodents are not, if that`s what you were suggesting (or maybe I misunderstood)?
