Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

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
