Savanna Monitor Lizard (Varanus exanthematicus)
Chomper is more than just a pet to us, He is a valuable member of our family, we would be lost without Chomper and his amazing antics to enrich our lives.
Savannah monitors, or most any monitor lizard are NOT a "beginner's pet" they are extremely difficult and expensive to maintain properly. They require massive enclosures and eat unreal amounts of food.

If your monitor closes it's eyes when picked up, it's NOT because it "trusts" you, it's because it's scared. -
Savannah Monitors are insectivores by nature, however occasional rodents are acceptable to feed. -
Amazing growth!, A baby Sav will grow to become a yard long powerful lizard with talons for toes and a whip for a tail in just 2 years.
