Savannah Devours His Cousin



Here is the newest addition to the family. He is a Savannah Monitor from the badlands of Africa. He's kinda bad hisself as goes to show in this video. Just recently acquired this monster, the kind they used for all those cheap dubbed Japanese movies where the monster is looming over the city! Right! Just an overdub of one of these monitors. He's friendly to me although I wouldn't extend a finger to him.

I can pick him up and carry him around, just don't let him get too close to your face. My turtles can be fairly aggressive and actually bite and they really hold on for dear life. But I was able to get out of ones iron clad hold one day. Got me by surprise. But much ado about nothing like this. This takes the cake. My new monitor will grow to more than 3 feet, he's a killer. Even killed somebody in his family, a snapping lizard of the garden variety kind.

He was caught outside and I kept him for a while and he stayed very healthy until he landed inside the monitors cage and got ate. Here is a perfect example of who you can and can't trust. My monitor will also eat boiled eggs, but for some reason not baby guinea pigs. I found that out this morning. But he supposedly loves mice and rats. We'll see how that turns out.

So here he completely devours his little cousin. I would call that murder in the first degree of course but he ate the evidence. That's why I shot this video tape as a witness and to use as evidence. But who could prosecute a cute thing like him really?
