My baby savannah monitor is about 11 inches long and will not eat like she used to. Before I could give her a whole pinky, some ground turkey, and sometimes a few red worms. Now she will eat some crickets every other day and she totally ignores the other stuff. I have her in a 75 gallon tank with a "corner dish" full of water, logs and other things to hide under, the substrate is cork cubes along with moss. The hot side in the tank is about 110 degrees. Would anybody have any suggestions on how I could get her to eat again ? Also as of right now she is real squirmy when i try to hold her but she has never bitten me. Will she mellow out as she gets older? I appreciate your interests in reading this and would ask if you have any suggestions to reply. Thanks again

Make sure you post this on the monitor forum. I cant say that those folks will check here, but they will have advice for you.
