Exclamation Need help with my savannah monitor

I bought my sav from a reptile show about a month back and apparently I bought it from a dirtbag breeder that doesn't care about the health of his reptiles. My sav is extremly underweight and I've been feeding him everyday as much as she will eat. I feed her crickets, meal worms, live and dead mice, eggs and earth worms. She seems to be gaining weight but not very rapidly. I also dust everything she eats with calcium and multivitamins. Does anybody have any advice for me because I love my sav and I just want her to be healthy and happy.

If you haven't already seen it, review this site:
http://savannahmonitor.co/

That should get you just about everything that you need to know to have a healthy monitor.

Yes I've been on that site many times but it doesn't outline the best possible approach to reviving an under weight sav. I just wanted to come on here and get some advice from anybody that might have been in this situation before.

The best possible approach for reviving an underweight sav is to set it up properly, give it a hot basking spot, and feed it as much whole prey as it wants to eat daily.

She's doing good I think, she's eating everything I give her and she's gaining weight so I think she will be ok
