So you want a Sav... ?

[Razaiel]

Thanks for the thumbs up people

Sorry I don't come on that much nowadays to any forums but hope the sneezing is sorted - as mentioned, they do do a bit of that when in shed to rid themselves of the skin etc. - but if it carries on and there seems to be some kinda RI going on, best see the vet.

Hopefully the excess temp problem is sorted, Metzger - I never use heat mats but found that by experimenting with different wattages of bulbs I could control the basking temp that way and still get suitable cool end temps.

Shortyd2K - Thank you very much for your nice words. I saw your other thread regarding taming and personally I found that the patience and waiting game was the easiest to play (and less stressful to both of us). I found this to be helpful thread and basically sets out what I did with mine Kingsnake.com - Herpforum - HANDLING (not taming!) and other stuff. BTW - see you're not far from me - I'm in Oxford too.

Thank you very much, Daniel - and good to see you here! Believe we've "met" on one of the other forums (reptic or varanus.nl) in the past.

Have you only just got him? If so he'll need some settling down time because it's all new and he'll be scared of the big predator that keeps looking at him
