Also if you have an asian market somewhere in your vacinity, pick up some balut eggs, they are eggs with fertile duck embryos inside, this will allow them all the nutrients of the whole duck fetus, including the beak and bones... and snails, whole shrimp, or crab as well, ALL uncooked and nothing added, no salts etc...

Savannah Monitors actually need to be based off of a whole prey item diet including tons of insects.  You don't want to feed them a staple of just raw meats and eggs.  You can give them cooked eggs on occasion, but you don't want that to be the staple of their diet...

 Brandon French all looks pritty good in your list. maby some more UVA to help digestion day time hotspot needs to hit around 100 degrees .but the animal needs room to choose its preferd timp.how big is your inclosuer? savannahs need cages with a large flor space 6X3X1 feet or larger is preferd.manly for ther excersize to stay healthy .

also you can add cooked or raw eggs /rsw fish /snales/worms /and raw fresh .musials to the minue the eggs can be a regular foor all the rest can be treets over a few months.

Ok thanks joshua will do after talking with her previous owner he had her for 4 years as he purchesed her as a baby and iv had her for 5 years so she is 9 or pushing 10 years I've always fed her frozen thawed rats but know that I have three snakes also she is getting 2 or 3 mice but as treats she gets liver, gizzards, chicken. For lighting day time white uv blub and night red heat keeping her tank in high 80 day time and mid 70s at night. She also gets a weekly bath. So hopefully I'm doing it right.

Savannah monitors will normally tend to live 10 to 15 years they can live longer but it's very unlikely, but most monitors do not live past eight because of poor husbandry or improper diet. Your monitor should live a while longer. If I were you I would take your monitor the vet every 6 to 8  months to have her or him evaluated since he or she is getting pretty old. Always make sure you feeding your monitor the right type of food in the correct quantity of the food. The correct husbandry. and all the correct lighting. I'm not trying to sound like an asshole and I'm not telling you how to take care of your monitor I'm just recommending that you be more attentive to what him or her needs to make sure you get the best life possible out of your Savannah monitor and for you guys to have the best memories.

According to what I see on the internet and in books a savanaha monitors life span is 6 to 9 years is this true? My female is at least 8 and seemes to be doing great. Just wanted to know if anyone else has had one longer then 6 to 9 years.
