Hello all, I picked up a Savannah from a home it had outgrown (literally two hours ago). I'm pretty sure he's a male and he's definitely shedding. I was just wondering if there are specific things to look for in a less-than-healthy monitor while it sheds. He does look a little underweight to me, and it looks like he's either just begun to shed or is nearly complete and has a few pieces stuck. The previous owner wasn't able to shed much light on his condition for me. I could get a few pictures if that would help someone help me! Tomorrow I was going to start him off with a hard boiled egg and see how he does with it.
Cage atm:
40gal breeder (it's absolutely temporary, I swear, me and a buddy are converting an empty closet for him this very weekend), hide box with a basking rock on top of it, a CHE keeping the temps at about 80, I didn't bother setting up a basking light since I picked him up after dark, and he's got a bin of water which he has been consistently soaking in and out of since I put him in the tank. He's on about six inches of a regular untreated soil and sand mixture.
