enclosure size for new sav..need help

reamk924 Dec 07, 2006 02:04 PM

I just got a new sav in day before yesterday. He is in a small cage right now. He will either be fostered by me for a rescue group or will be here permanently depending on how he progresses, as he has a bit of an attitude. I want to build him his own enclusure, but need dimensions. He is 24", give or take. Is UVB as pertinent to them as it is to iguanas? I think he is a bit on the hefty side too.

Thanks

Deborah
