Savannah monitors are a terrestrial species native to Africa that can get 2-4’. Due to their size and active nature they will need a large enclosure. Savannah monitors can live 10-20+ years making them a big commitment pet. These lizards are for the experienced keeper as without consistent, daily socialization from a young age, they can become defensive, flighty, or aggressive, making them a challenging reptile for beginners. It's good to introduce frequent gentle handling to prevent them from becoming fearful. They can become incredibly docile and interactive pets when properly worked with.
