I keep in my collection 2 albigs (a male BT and Sobek my "little" girl), a male flavi-argus, some red ackies, and a beardie male. Between the 3 larger monitors they eat from once a week to every day (the flavi eats daily or almost, and sometimes the BT). Sometimes Sobek will eat small meals daily yet.
If I add up the entire food intake of those 3 in one week with 24/7 basking lights, and consistant temps, its less expensive than feeding my cat. As far as prey size/food amounts go, my cat eats 2 meals a day basically and he eats spread throughout 24 hours as cats are designed to do in small amounts. He eats more in one week than all 3 rodent/bird eaters.
Theres no comparison with a similar sized dog in weight or size to any monitor as far as food intake in even the hottest climates.
