Savannah Monitor Lizard

Savannah Monitors: A Comprehensive Guide

Savannah monitors are sizable pet lizards and are among the more gentle members of the monitor lizard family. Originating from the grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, they are not particularly active and generally tolerate being handled.

While Savannah monitors are popular pets in the United States, they may not always thrive in captivity. This lizard is not suitable for inexperienced reptile enthusiasts due to its specific care requirements necessary for maintaining its health.

In this book, I will provide a comprehensive guide on caring for the Bosc Monitor, also known as the Savannah Monitor, in captivity. This guide will address various aspects such as housing, heating, lighting, water and humidity, and diet. Additionally, I will discuss the challenging issues associated with the sourcing of Bosc Monitors, highlighting why they are often animals that are rehomed.
