I am deeply interested in finding a savannah monitor lizard, i live in ny, at the beginnings of Long Island, but only 25 miles from nyc. i would love nothing more than to find a breeder, but i cant find any, even when i go to places such as kingsnake.com, its almost impossible to find specifically what im looking for, and i dont want to buy from large chains like petco and petsmart that have no idea about anything they sell, and their animals are in unfortunate horrid conditions. if anyone knows some breeder or place nearby where i can purchase a savannah monitor lizard (preferabbly a baby from a breeder nearby) then please tell me as much info as u can...i want to make the lizard a new part of my family, and am committed to giving it unconditional love!

You're probably going to have to wait till spring time and order one.. With most of the monitors now being illegal in NY, I'm sure any local breeders are probably a bit leery of posting their stock online. Savannah's are still legal, but, your average animal control officer probably can't tell the difference between them and a couple of the banned monitors..
Here's a nice looking girl for sale on Kingsnake, though, you'd have to have her shipped...

I would almost recommend going with a different monitor, like an Argus or Roughneck..

There's a young argus..
They seem to be a lot more available then the savannah..
Here's a good care sheet on the Savannah..

I have never owned a monitor though, and can't really help you more then that.. I had done research on them as I was considering taking a friend's Nile monitor on, but, decided against it..

I would recommend going to a reptile expo. This is where alot of breeders do their selling as well as on line. You can also find better prices.
There's going to be a reptile expo in Long Island March 2nd, here are the details. http://www.reptileexpo.com/lifirst.htm
kingsnake.com has an events section which is a good source to find an expo in your area. I've been to many of expos and have never seen one that didn't have savannah monitors. (usually babies sell for $25 to $35)
