We got Tank for $5, because he was deemed "Agressive"

How funny is that!!
Here’s some pics of our new enclosure for the lil’ guy. Yes, we went a little far with the window but we had a scrap and he loves it!
.

The ladders are for Tank to get to the top. As he grows, they’ll disappear.
See him peaking around the corner? He cracks me up!

That’s at a petstore, right? Another sav besides the one I currently have(I was only 17 and had to get rid of it ), I bought it for $6 at a reptile show. Later, as I was leaving the show, I passed the same booth and the remaining three savs had been marked down to $2.50. Petstores pay $1 to $5 for savs, starve them, don’t provide proper space/heat/humidity, and keep them at hatchling size until they are sold. They sell them for $40-$50 because they can.

like we’ve all said got to a herp show and buy urself a good monitor for 5-20 dollars. save the money for food ur going to need as much as u can save. monitors are expensive to keep. ask around at how much ppl spend on average a month. i spend about 150 a month id say.

I paid about 70$ for mine, cause I had to get my pet store order one in from thier breeder in Cali, its because you need a license to bring a reptile into Canada anyways plus shipping and what not I know im gettin ripped off but w.e I’d do anything for my reptiles
