our sav is going through fasting spurts. we thought he was just being a picky eater; he has not eaten in 2 1/2 weeks. today we force fed him. all his fat stores have broken down and he has lost about 30% of his weight. all this BS started happening once he hit 3 feet. we can not even get a good fecal sample to have him checked for parasites, since he will not eat.
i am growing very tired of monitors. it seems no matter what i read, or find out i still have nothing but problems with this group of reptiles. what really upsets me is the ones that appear to thrive in far worse conditions. i read one book and it is completely contradicted by the next book. is this why nobody is successfully breeding savs and waters? they are just too difficult to keep?
either way if we lose this guy i am finished with these animals. in my 8 years of reptile keeping i have never had this many problems.
