I bought a savannah monitor for my 11 year old son. It was his first reptile pet. Monitor arrived alive but skinny. I have owned many reptiles including monitor lizards. This monitor would not eat, we tried pinkies, fuzzies, crickets, mealworms and nothing. Two weeks later my son checked on it and it was dead. Very unhappy. My guess is it was not captive bred and they probably did not make sure it would eat before selling it.
