My savanah seems sleepy like this for long periods. Is it normal for them to fall asleep while apparently climbing?

Not unless it's cold or sick.What are your temps?

My temps are 80 at the coldest spot and 90 at the warmest. As for the "astro turf" I didn't start out with that. I got some fur bark stuff, but that made me worried about him eating it. Then I took all that out and put in dirt....that dried out really fast and and he would basically paint the cage with it. So I figured I would put the turf in and that way I could dampen it. If he's dehydrated I have no idea why. He has plenty of water and usually the glass beads with humidity. I'm really trying hard to do the right thing. What should I change?

Jack the warmest spot in the cage up to about 130 and report back to us in a week to see if he's still doing it.

Savannas are not normally found on astroturf.
Yours looks dehydrated. That will cause 'sleepiness'.
Hint: he is not sleeping.
Hint: astroturf is not good for monitors.
Hint: doesn't matter what your temps are, if he's dehydrating under them.
Please check out the FAQ at Varanus.net.
