Thanks! They are such amazing and beautiful creatures, not to mention cute as hell as babies!

It's just too sad that they are often marketed as "beginner's lizards" when they really are not.

I may be biased, but I think they are handsome as adults too.

Hello
I really like the set-up.
I just got a 9" Savanna and would like to know if i should use d3 in my calcium powder or not?
Thank you very much.

Depends on what you will be feeding.

For a Juvi, I would recommend a mix of roaches, crickets, earthworms and occasional pinkie mice.

One of the biggest internet arguments going is the mouse / no mouse controversy, and quite honestly it boils down to cage conditions.

If you have a nice 130-150 degree basking spot, then mice are no problem.

Sprinkle a little supplement on the worms, since they are sticky anyhow, the calcium powder will adhere to the worm slime.

I just feed good old fashion fishing night crawlers.

I use dubias well fed,pinkies,and a little ground turkey.
Just wondering about the d3. I bred beardies and did not use calcium with d3.

I have read that it's good for lizards and turtles, I believe it won't hurt, so why not?

I also use a 4 foot long UV 10.0 tube, and many others don't.

Toss in some worms sometime, Savs go wild over night crawlers. I catch them out in my yard when it rains.. free food.
