Hi Leesah,

I don`t know which caresheets you`ve read, or who wrote them, but I promise you that if you offer your Savannah monitor optimum conditions (sufficient basking temps etc), it will NOT become obese. nor should it die in a year or two, because it was fed rodents, or any other vertebrate prey....

Can you ask the people who say they cannot eat the items I mention how old their Savannah monitors are, how many times they`ve bred them, on an insect only diet?

I know how very confusing it is for you with so much conflicting info, until you get "their" answers, you will never know the truth...Ask "them" to show you pics of their 10 yr old Savannah`s. 10 years isn`t "old".
