Very well in the 75g. He eats 30 crickets one day and eggs the next. And every now and then a rat. He has gained a quarter of his weight back. He doesn't show his "butt" bone no more.

He lays on the heat spot with his belly extended most of the day.

But I have a question? Would a boamaster cage do good as a box cage for him? I'm thinking I can get him one when I go back to repticon.

The problem with the boamaster cages is they don't allow for enough substrate.

Unfortunately Savannahs are probably one of the most abused pets in the reptile trade. DON'T GUESS YOUR TEMPS! You need a good digital thermometer for ambient temps and a temperature gun for surface temps. Surface temperature for any monitor should be around 140 degrees. This doesn't necessarily mean you need to buy a new heat lamp. You can raise basking temps by making the basking area closer to the lamp. Look into making retes stacks which give your monitor a choice of temps and increase usable surface area. A boamaster would be a big step up from a 75 gallon tank but if your still using a tank u can wrap it in cardboard to help keep the heat.

With monitors the rule is keep 'em Hot and feed them lots. Good luck. I hope your Sav is thriving instead of slowly dieing.
