My Savannah monitor is an adult. A small one, but an adult none the less.
He is approx 2 - 4 years old and 2 foot (and maybe around 5 - 10 inches longer than that)
I would put up pictures, but I dont have any new ones. Outside pictures to come asap though

Unfortunately I no longer have my Large Male Savanah, He was 8 years old 4ft, 5inches...
staple diet of large African roaches, and brown or green anoles with treats of sardines every so often...never fed on mice or rats. never fed on none whole foods sources. Yay first post. Just signed up today. Ima try and get some pics from his new owner I no longer have any.
I have a couple of african roach colonies brewing aswell as brown and green anole breeding tanks. saves me money, and boy does my tegu and water monitor just love them anoles.

I have an adult male I pity purchased from my local herp shop. He's around 3 feet give or take, considering he's missing several inches of tail.. He had bad mouth rot and missing claws/toes but he's doing great now, very fun.. Also have a 4 foot water monitor, 3 foot mangrove, and 40" nile. Monitors are amazing animals, who are 100% under appreciated.

I have a vet friend who works with monitors..he said most of the savs who died had fatty liver! Usually over fed mice, dog food, rats, whatever. The next most common were mbd and dehydration! poor savs!
I personally won't get a sav unless I have several colonies of feeder insects prepared far in advanced!! As well as the cage set up!

Thats what I don't understand about todays husbandry, the information is there, the trial an error due to bad or creative husbandry has been done ten times over. We know from studies that Savannah monitors dont feed on an all rodent diet, yet people continue to do it. Its like if they dont care and are content that their pet monitor only lives to see middle age and thats only if the rest of the husbandry is spot on aside from the food intake.

Re: Do you have an ADULT Savannah Monitor?
I know what you mean, I got into it a few weeks ago with a guy trying to sell to me that his sav could eat mice all the time as long as it exercised...
Thats like saying a person can live on bigmacs deepfried in butter as long as they go for a walk every day. Fat on your body and fat on your organs is different, only a healthy diet will keep healthy organs.

Re: Do you have an ADULT Savannah Monitor?
YES! I have about a 3-3.5ft savannah named tiny! One of the greatest temperments ive seen. He really is "puppy dog tame". I would post pics but i don't have any yet lol. It is sad most don't make it to adulthood.
