I'd highly reccomend soaking the savannah in lukewarm water for 30-45 minutes atleast once a week mine get it 2 or 3 times, also mine seem to like ice cold water i notice right after i give them fresh water they will drink but if the water has been sitting in the cage for a day or so they like to crap right in it (giving me clues i suppose)
as far as the lethargy..what are you feeding the savannah and how big is it? my big female ( 3 and a half feet) is on primarily rodents and chicks and she is not an active monitor at all, now the smaller male ( 2 and a half feet) still gets can o grasshoppers can o snails and crayfish any clean big inverts i can find, ontop of monitor food( the canned stuff) and rodents and chicks as well and i notice him being alot more active than she is. could be the age difference aswell
hope this helps

:I haven't seen my baby Sav drink any water, do you give these guys bath like you do Beardies? Any suggestions on how to get some water in "it"....also, "it" sleeps and hides a lot, is this normal?
