YES! You are doing something wrong.

read through this forum. pay close attention to posts by robyn@proexotics, FR, and mikes monitors. they seem to be the most informed. sorry if i missed anybody.

it sounds like your monitors have lived to the limits of your provided husbandry. so you would need to drastically improve your husbandry.

armed with the right info, it really isn't that hard.

check out our site for a simple Sav caresheet. check out the monitor FAQ as well.

get a copy of the Sav book by Bennett, available at our site, or here on the classifieds. you will then have all the info you need, you just have to then apply it to a good setup : )

best of luck.

Hmmmmmmmmm....... Well, let's see..........., this - "i have had 2 savannah monitor lizards that lived til they got about 3 ft long and both died. am i doing somthing wrong, i dont think neither was older than 3 years" was posted by someone with the username of "NVERLAST1".

C'mon guys, wake up! I can't believe ya'll. My goodness, what am I to do with ya'll.

Just how many proud unqualified people has this forum seen posting about the death of their monitors?

Talk about gullible. Ha! Ha!

And no, it was not, is not, me.

Later Taters!

I was thinking the exact same thing but forgot to add it before I posted it.

Where have you been, mate? Haven't seen you around in a while...

"Haven't seen you around in a while..."

Ha! You ain't missed much.

I scan thru here every now & then, been busy the last several months with the Burmese Python breeding season and and a host of other things. I hope things are starting to look better for you, just hang in there. Check your messages the next day or so.

Catch ya later!

Yea, it appeared to me as bait. A setup form "other" forum lurkers. But it does happen. Cheers
