I recently bought a hatchling savannah, he's no more than 6 inches in length, if that. Fairly tiny guy. When i brought him home, he seemed very alert, active, but was not too interested in his food. I left him alone with half a dozen medium sized crickets for 24 hours. Still nothing. I eventually ended up having to raise the temperatures from 85 to 90, 95. He is doing EXTREMELY better now. He has ate a dozen crickets within the last two days. I know it's not alot of savannahs when young like that, BUT it's an improvement for him. I'm quite satisfied. Well, anyhow, my question/concern now is, is that he is quite shy. He won't eat infront of me or anyone. Is this common? Should I be worried about this perhaps leading to aggression issues later on? Is there any possible way I can break him of this? Could this all be that he is still adjusting to his new home? -- To me, it's nothing major. He's welcome to have all the privacy he wants, but I'm just concerned for him. Any suggestions or thoughts are highly appreciated.



Thanks :]
