Beautiful!
But a savannah monitor? Do you have it living in there? I would imagine that the heat requirements for a savannah would cook the plants even before the lizard has trampled everything into mulch. E. exanthematicus require a hot spot of 130°F to thrive and they need a lot of space to operate. This may be okay for a little while if it is a young specimen but eventually you will need to get a much bigger cage. Imo.

That’s kinda what I was thinking. This enclosure is beautiful for sure but if this monitor is an adult, the enclosure is way too small. Hopefully we are talking about a baby.

It appears that you have put a lot of time and effort into this enclosure though. Kudos to you!

Please move the heat/light fixtures as well. They are a burn in waiting.

I hope your UV isn’t too strong for that mammal in there. She looks fairly hypomelanistic.

The first pics are deceiving! I really thought I was looking at a 4x2 . Or something similar. Yes definitely got tons of room.
