Again, no one looks into the nutritive and enzymatic action of various food items within the system of the animals we keep. Fish like feeder fish are often nutrient poor and contain things that we wouldn't want in any animal's system. Not only that but Sav's are not fish eaters. They may come across one or 2 dead in a lifetime in the wild but that doesn't mean they eat it on any regular basis. IF you're going to be feeding fish... try coldwater seafood fish... such as haddock, pollock, cod, mullet etc etc... Warm water fish, especially goldfish, Tuffies/Rosy Reds, Guppies can cause nutrition problems if fed in any large amounts to animals not suited to producing the right nutrient chains from what these feeders contain. They aren't even worth feeding to a garter snake or any type of water snake let alone an open savannah land monitor.
