There are plenty of people who keep them at optimum conditions, yet most Savannah monitors I see are lethargic and obese. And at that, we're still debating what are considered "optimum conditions". Especially with diet. Why do you think that a brumation period will be detrimental to a monitors health when it's part of it's natural life cycle? Why do you think feeding an invertebrate diet will lead to a malnourished Savannah monitor when their diets in the wild consist of arthropods and other invertebrates? I just don't see the logic behind it all when there have been field studies done by people who took years of college to find out the answers to these questions, yet most of us still disagree.
