I just got a Savannah Monitor, and I need advice... (UPDATE, VERY GOOD NEWS)
Hello. Today, as a graduation gift, I received a 75 gallon tank set up (which will arrive tomorrow, some supplies, 2 bearded dragon babies, a leapord gecko baby, a blue spiney, and a savannah monitor baby. Now, I read that a healthy monitor eats when offered food, and mine, though it looks and acts healthy, hasn't eaten its pinky all day...Should I be worried? it is also molting, and was rubbing its head on my leg earlier and what appeared to be yawning...I would love all advice, and also, would Calci sand or repti bark work as substrate? (also, any advice on the others would be awesome!) One last question, will calci-sand or repti bark work with blue spiney and leapord? Thanks loads!
Well, I added some potting soil, thanks to the advice I was given, and it did the trick! The monitor is doing awesome, eating great, and very active! Thank you all VERY much for the advice!
