Good to hear it! They had sav's at this exotics store (which I absolutely detest, but my sisters wanted to go there because they had bunny stuff) but they looked all dead in their 10 gallon with aspen splinters, what worried me most was that the Nile's the had been residing in the enclosure were all gone. I really wanted to take one home, but I couldn't for reasons of not supporting the store and I could not keep a sav.

I really wanted to take one home, but I couldn't for reasons of not supporting the store and I could not keep a sav. Yes, I agree bad pet stores should be boycotted. However, it's not the animals fault for being stuck in that awful place. Also, if you don't buy the animal, someone else will (most likely someone who has no idea what they're doing)...either that or the animal dies in the horrific conditions. Then again, almost every herp book I've ever read says to never buy a sickly reptile. (especially sickly snakes) You might be tempted to save it, but the odds are that it will eventually die from disease. I took that chance when I bought Saga. I knew she might die in the near future but so far, so good. I went to this reptile rescue website the other day and saw all these horrific pictures of malnourished, MBD, abused Savannah monitors (most of which whom died shortly after the photos were taken). It just broke my heart to see those poor creatures and what despicable people had done to them. Here is a link to the website:http://www.reptilerescueca.org/Hall.html Warning: Pictures may be graphic in nature, Pictures include malnourished and abused reptiles!
Rest in Peace Odin!!! Your life may have not meant anything to those that abused you; but you meant everything to me. You will be missed my little friend.

I got Saga out for her morning bath this morning and she acted up even more than she did yesterday. lol She thinks she is intimidating with her loud hissing and whipping her itty bitty tail  It's very different for me to experience a sav act this way. Loki only slightly hisses when he is on the floor around dogs and I've never heard Freya hiss. With regular handling I'm sure she'll be just as tame as Loki & Freya. Once I picked her up she's fine. I think she just doesn't like the surprise of the initial disturbance in the morning. She hasn't once tried to bite me so that's good news. For breakfast this morning she had Zoo med's canned Tegu & Monitor food dusted with calcium powder. (I know for a fact that she did not have proper calcium in her diet at the pet store.) I have never fed Zoo med's monitor food to my savs before but i thought it might be a good way to encourage her to eat. Chicken is the first ingredient, then soybean meal, kelp meal, fish, some calcium, lots of vitamins and ...ground corn? Yeah I don't really agree with the corn but this was just a snack and will not be in her main diet. Tomorrow she'll be fed some gut-loaded crickets.

| Here are some new pics of Saga. I feed/soak her twice a day. Looks like this evening she wanted another bath! lol The scattered pieces of brown/tan stuff is the mess she made of her food. Her foliage, decorations and half log were taken out for her feeding 
Her first escape attempt! lol
