(this was posted in the black throat forum(no one answered) so sorry to those of you who have already read it)
ive been thinking about getting a sav for a while until i handled a black throat, much neater than any sav ive ever seen (i want to see if i can keep one) ,but have a few basic questions
is a 9'lx4'wx3't(id be pressed but could provide a 9'lx5'wx4't) and 1' of dirt/sand mix, is either cage big enough(plus handling at least everyday possible) ?
i can possibly get one 8"-12"tl, are they known to be tame enough(w/ regular handling) to at least allow basic interactions ?
i heard they eat rodents ,insects,worms,roaches,san diego turkey diet(supplemented occasionally by miner-all), any thing left out ?
roughly(i know there are many factors, but roughly) how many adult mice would an average sized adult eat a week ?
do they gorge or can you feed them as much as they want?
lastly(is this correct), a gradient of 75*F up to a basking spot 140-170*F
and a generally 20% humidity with spots up to 70%, no screen sides or tops, only vents and several hides and a raised basking spot, just covering my bases
thank you so much
