Tens of thousands are bought then die each and every year, without doubt because they`re most often impulse buys by complete beginners, and so cheap they`re disposable items.
And the one`s that linger for a few years cannot be considered a success, nor have those particu;lar keepers achieved anything but abject failure...
Beginner teaches beginner, teaches beginner....

Gregg M. Madden, I know you have some success at keeping a Savannah monitor long term, you`re imput would be of value, but better if in public rather than private in my opinion, so will you give details of captive care here on the forum?
Thanks in anticipation!
