You just have to love those caring eyes our Savannah Monitor named Savannah. She joined our Animal Ambassador Team in late January of this year. Since joining she has met thousands of people and even appeared on television. There is just only one problem...She is extremely overweight and HATES to exercise! Savannah was rescued from a local pet store that overfed her so much that she could barely turn around in her small aquarium. Since she came to live at the reserve we have tried our hardest to put her on a lean protein diet and a daily exercise program.
Judging by the picture I just took this morning I do not think that our program has helped Savannah nearly as much as I thought it would. Anyone have Jenny Craig’s number? Wonder if they ever helped an overweight lizard...hmm...
