to all the sav owners out there:
my ten month old savannah monitor is almost 30 inches long (TL). is it growing fast/normally? at what age would he reach his full size? im just curious about his growth and would like to hear from other sav owners about their lizard's growth. thank you.
 
i've heard a huge range of growth rate differences, for example mine is 7 months old and 18" but he was also the runt of the group (but he was the most active and alert as well as the best feeder which is why I picked him)
 
he should be fully grown by 2 years but he will likely start slowing down at 15months
 
At a young age they grow like crazing, mine started to slow down at a little over a year but mine are a litter smaller. It has seemed the savannahs rang in different adult sizes lately. My 2 year olds are smaller one being closer to 3' and the other be just over 2' which is very small I think.
