LOL Expected response.
I know its hard to admit you were too fast with wrong conclusions.
Keep being offending is way easier. It takes real cojones to back off.
You are never too old to grow a pair.
Apart from taking an animal out of the wild, there is nothing wrong in my way of animal keeping.
You pretending otherwise has apparently more to do with you than with me.
This is my thread. Again, I advice, and especially you, to start one up for yourself. Have a ball.
Dude.

Sigh...Ollie, to put it crudely, as I was trying not to do, you have ego issues. I think your idea about the UVB works great, and for that I would say that it is your choice.
Other than that however, you are simply neglecting Methos75 posts. See, you state quite early that you have observed that your Savannah likes the sand better than moist soil. This is certainly falsified, I guess you could say it is equivalent to saying a snake likes you because it does not bite you. Fact is, the snake does not like you and never will.
Whilst Methos75 states that the savannah's need humidity, and that is indeed substantiated with studies and the lot, you ought to make a compromise by mixing a dryish soil as A.gigas has stated. You cannot simply assume that a well respected monitor picks up a sandy area as its own, and the others are subject to moister regions, that's just ridiculous.
Additionally, when methos describes the experiences he has with Savannah's, it does not make sense for you to say that anything that goes against your idea is offensive, that's just nonsense, further more, again it is well substantiated.
Whilst reptile keeping is not an exact science, the basis has always been achieving either a basic environment that the animal can survive in, though not naturally, or by reaching similar scenarios as the natural habitat. That has always been, and will be, the way of choice for a long time.
You're a great reptile keeper, but you have to learn to understand the fundamentals and keep your own emotions in check with logic.

Thanks for the compliment about me being a great reptile keeper.
In my opinion a great reptile keeper knows the fundamentals about housing a reptile.
So a contradictio in terminis?
I accidentally used 'desert' where 'savannah' narurally was needed in one of the first posts of mine.
That was not smart of me.
But no reason to start telling me how I do wrong.
About that ocean. If there was no ocean, you John, would have no excuse
not to come and see how my bosc is doing.
OK?
Thanks you all for helping and showing how to take best care for my animal.
Now I'm going to enjoy my animals.

look I didn't come into this topic to attack you, I simply saw where a Monitor was being kept in what i believe is not the proper way and gave some pointers. it was meant as an attack against you or as an an attempt to offend you, I simply came in as one reptile keeper to another and it spiral into this for what ever reason. I have seen your other reptiles, especially your snapper and know that you are knowledgeable, but with reptile keeping as fluid as it is everyone can mess up with their care and I thought i was doing the right thing trying to help you
Blah blah, you know what I meant and honestly LA isn't that bad, our educational system here is higher than many states like CA's now and we do have LSU which is one of the best colleges for medical and biology in the US
nice i have a baby savvanna a red eyed crocodile skink 2 leopard geckos and a bearded dragon and a fire belly newt if u want to c em go to youtube and search reptilebomb13
Honestly John, I think the education systems of America versus Holland are the least of our concerns. Ollie, you just need to pay attention to ONE thing. Humidity, achieve that, I don't know how, I don't care how, and you're probably good to go. When you say your monitor is doing well, how sure are you that it will be permanent? Its the same case when people mix reptiles and say nothing's going wrong, and then eventually get something eaten. Oh, and in terms of fundamentals, I meant attempting to achieve a natural environment without actually finding it in its entirety how the creature's nature environment is.
Now wait a minute, I thought I was patching things up. Being more friendly. Why this?
Dunno those abbreviations. It makes our comunication WAY more clear. Nice work John.
Education systems? Thread: Bosc monitor and little iguana
ONE thing: humidity... is that all a bosc needs? NO
Im thru with this thread, MY thread.
So thank you for f***ing it up.
Whatever you're posting from now on, Im not reading anymore. You'll be preaching to every one else.
