Friend, I have not turned anything around. When you asked a question I damn well responded, you were the one that DEFINITELY refused to answer MY questions. I've stated many times that my monitors are healthy, thick tailed, and very active. at just over a year, almost three feet isn't bad for a Savannah monitor if you ask me, since you're so worried about the diet I feed my Savannah. As for sexual maturity, it has another year to go, from what I've talked to other monitor breeders about, they prefer to give them an extra year before breeding. Once again, what do you believe is wrong with an invertebrate diet? Why do you believe elevation affects brumation? Murriandi said it affects temperature... well in captivity temperature is entirely under my control. I always provide my monitors with a range from 78 degrees to 90 degree at a most, with a hot spot at about 150 degrees. They spend plenty of time basking and burrowing, which from my knowledge sounds like a relatively healthy monitor. Why, if they do it in captivity, and if thousands of other reptiles do it in captivity, should brumation be dangerous for a Savannah monitor?
