Odd colors for a sav?

[Ace]

Picked this Savannah Monitor up at the Charlotte Repticon. Was a little dehydrated, but well fed and active. The colors, though. I've never seen one this big with colors like this.

This is actually a terrible picture of him when it comes to showing his colors. I'll try to get a better one at some point. More importantly, I'm feeding ground turkey right now, but he's turning his nose up at it. He's 20 inches long, is there anything in particular I should be feeding?

Chances are he would turn his nose up at anything .. Let him get settled in and put food in front of him ... maybe try a mouse ???

eggs, turkey, crickets, mine loves roaches... ew

mice are alright, sometimes i have to poke a hole in it, get some juices out to make it more interested

It's definately a Sav from what I can tell. It's just got some pretty vibrant colors. Looks photoshopped, but it's real. Also, can savannah monitors eat ground beef? I've heard of feeding them ground turkey, but not ground beef. It won't be for long, just until I can get large grasshoppers.

i haven't fed my tegu or savy beef because its got a higher fat content. savys are more prone to obesity. i think a lot of savy owners prefer to keep them on a strict insect/rodent diet, its more natural for the sav.

my sav has wicked colors for being as big as he is

 

[johnlebel]

i stick to feeding live mice an crickets for excercise an i also feed f/t baby chick to keep the fat down....

Well, he's about 20 inches long... So what insects would I be feeding? Superworms are readily available, but what else for something his size?

 

[johnlebel]

mineis 30" eats like 40+ large crickets... an what ever for large superworms... plus i have the chicks an mice an sometime i throw him chicken gizzard 1$ for a container that will last about a week... an some hard boiled eggs like once a week for a treat

the last few days ive been doing dubia roaches. crickets and superworms are good. i like crickets because they take effort for my sav to catch
