Savannah Monitor doesn't shed properly?
You should join a monitor forum anyways. They are great sources of info from experienced handlers. But, in the mean time I might be able to shed some light on your problem. Savannahs grow so fast that they are constantly shedding. Shedding problems arise from a number of things either low humidity, improper diet, or wrong temps. Sounds to me like your humidity should be fine. Around 60-70% is ideal. So you should look at diet and temps. There is a lot of info on these 2 subjects. So visit this link for more info. a href="http://savannahmonitor.org/" rel="nofollow"http://savannahmonitor.org//a This is the most complete guide to savannahs I have found, many experienced handlers swear by it. You should also get started on a large cage now. My sav grew to 24 inches in the first year. You will eventually need a 4x8x4 cage. But, bigger is always better. Mine is 4x6x6 with 18 inches of substrate. I should have gone 8 feet long. But, I decided to go taller and give my sav more climbing room. Good luck.
