What Makes ReptiChip The Best Savannah Monitor Bedding

History/Facts

The Savannah Monitor (Varanus exanthematicus) is a striking lizard known for its robust build and distinctive markings. Native to the savannas and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, these monitors are among the largest lizard species on the continent, with adults reaching lengths of up to 3.5-4 feet. They exhibit a fascinating array of behaviors, including burrowing to escape extreme temperatures and predators. Savannah Monitors are opportunistic feeders, consuming a varied diet that includes insects, small mammals, birds, eggs, and occasionally vegetation. Their sharp claws and powerful jaws aid in digging and consuming prey.

In the wild, Savannah Monitors are solitary creatures, except during breeding season or when juveniles remain with their mothers for a period after hatching. They are proficient climbers and adept swimmers, using these skills to escape threats or explore their surroundings. In captivity, they require large enclosures with ample space to move and climb. Despite their intimidating appearance, many Savannah Monitors can become relatively tame with regular, gentle handling from an early age. However, they may display defensive behaviors if they feel threatened. Their keen sense of smell and excellent vision aid in hunting and navigating their environment, making them formidable predators in their natural habitat.
