Thank you for your nice comments and rating my post

Sadly so many pet stores know all when it comes to monitors. If we'd done what we were told by the person that sold us ours he would have died before he reached a year probably. We were told it shouldn't need bigger than 6x2 - keep it on newspaper - and they're really cheap to run - feed it dog food Luckily I had done some research before getting him.

A Sav is a Savannah Monitor, also commonly known as a Bosc. Latin name is Varanus exanthematicus.

Your Bosc care sheet has been great help. My male has settled well now and is slowly adapting to his larger home. He loves his new diet too especially gals!

Called him Oringo which means whip, think hes starting to get used to it now.Thanks for your help before.

Rusty x

Had to put a note here again - SOOOO sick of hearing about people having problems with baby boscs, damaged tails, etc. makes me sick.
People - please read this and understand that theyre not easy to look after and they may never be 'tame'!!
