How often should I feed baby savannah monitor?

Q. Well I have a 3 month baby savannH monitor how often should I feed her and how many crickets when I feed her? Also how big will she get in a year?

A. Nice choice of a lizard there amazing. I have one and I feed it a fuzzy every week and randomly throughout the week I chuck in some roaches but I wouldn't really copy this way as it worked for me I'm not too sure it would work for you. I had mine since a baby of about 1 month old and about 3-4 months you can start to feed him pinkys. A good pinky once a month should be maximum because too many could be bad as there still young and mice are fatty and lack the better vitamins. So I'd stick with roaches or crickets . In a year it will grow to about a foot and they grow the most in 3 years so this is when you need to get a good feed


How much does it cost the first year to raise a baby and other questions.?
Q. I am not pregnant. This is a protect for school.

What is the annual cost the first year to raise a baby?

Second question. Im going to give you a list of newborn items. Tell me which items are TRULY NECESSARY.

Crib
diaper changing table
rocking chair
baby monitor
baby bathtub
bottles
bottle brush
bottle drying rack
baby swing
pacifiers
infant bouncer
swaddling blanket
play mat
play pen
carseat

A. Crib
Carseat
Bottles
Swaddling blanket
Play mat (can be used on floor as changing mat too)
These are the basic basic needs for me. You can get by without the others but not these.

The annual costs for a baby each year is different for every person. Some woman breast feed which is cheaper than formula. Others use cloth diapers which are cheaper than disposable etc.
I bought a pack of 15 reusable pea pod diapers for $70. These can be used from newborn right up to 3 years, so I only bought 1 pack of disposable diapers during the first year, to see what was better. Diapers are about $10 (new Zealand dollars) a pack. Babies go through about 5-10 nappies each day in the first few weeks, and then about 3-5 a day from around 4 months to a year. So do the math and it'll give you an approximate answer (get the price of diapers from your local supermarket).
If breast fed, it cost nothing. I breast fed, but I also bought a breast pump and baby bottles for $150 in case baby needed to be left with another person etc. if formula feeding, do some research online on the average formula used a month, and then times that by 12 (12 months in a year) get a price from your local supermarket.
Clothes- this depends on where you buy from etc, but I spent about $800 on all clothes up to 12 months. (including shoes, socks, togs, pyjamas etc)
I spent about $20 or so on baby shampoo, soap and powder every 6 or so weeks, so that's about $180 a year.
I bought baby towels and facecloths before my baby was born and they lasted right up until she was four. I spent $30 on 5 towels and a couple packs of facecloths.
Bibs- got given some at baby shower, but bought a few packs for $20 around about, these lasted the whole time needed.
Bassinet/Moses basket - needed for first 8 weeks, cost me $80
Crib- needed up until about 2- cost me $250
Stroller- needed up until about 3- cost me $150
Car seat- Bought a seat that was used from birth til 4 years. Cost $150
Blankets, sheets, duvets for crib- got given some at baby shower but probably costs about $100 for a couple pairs of sheets, blankets etc
Swaddling blankets- needed for first few weeks (I used them but not necessary) depending on brand etc but I got a few muslin wraps for $30.
Baby bath- optional, but I used one. $30
Medication such as baby Tylenol, gripe water, teething gel, teething powder etc about $50 all up the first year (depends)
Baby food- baby cereals, rusks, custards and other tinned foods probably about $90 a month (depends how much food baby eats. This price is based on my baby who at 7 months ate 2 tins a day, at $1.50 each) I also bought veggies and meat, and puréed these myself for baby. (this price will depend, as some babies don't start real food until a year old) my girl at 10-12 months was eating the same foods as I was.
Some people will put their children into childcare, this is another cost.
Where I live, medical attention for under 5's is free, but many people will have to pay for this as well.
Hope I haven't forgotten anything :)
Hope I helped!


Okay temporary cage size for baby Savannah Monitor?
Q. Would this be an okay cage size for a baby savannah monitor? 6 feet long, 3 feet high, two feet wide? This would just be until I had his adult sized enclosure built. I know it's WAY to small for an adult but this is just for the baby.

A. That's too big for a baby first of all lol. That's around a good size for an adult, for a babu try around a 55 gallon tank.


What do I do when my baby can't fall asleep because his pacifier keeps falling out?
Q. The dreaded pacifier addiction. My baby (almost 3 months old) will lay down fine to go to sleep; if his pacifier is in his mouth. The problem comes when it falls out, then he starts to fuss then cry. We have to constantly go into his room to put it back in, then he will relax again and start to doze off, then it falls out again...etc. When will this stop? What can I do to get him to sleep without the pacifier? Help - his bedroom is upstairs!

A. My daughter does the same thing, but it is slowly getting better. Does your baby suck on his hand/fingers? We have been encouraging that so she can self-soothe a little. I try not to give it to her as much during the day, and I don't give it to her when she goes to sleep if I can (she usually nurses to sleep which probably isn't better). You can do the cry it out, but I'm trying to slowly wean her off it. Don't listen to the people who say she's to young to be by herself. No one in my family or among my friends has done co-sleeping and everyone turned out fine (including me and my three brothers). It's great for people who want to, but not necessary. That's what baby monitors were invented for.
