Thank you very much, FR - that is very helpful - and I know who you are so I know the advice to be sound. So I've fed him a couple handfuls of locusts today and he wasn't particularly worried about them. I was always (obviously mistakenly) under the impression that they can have as many insects as they like just go easy on the rodents - therefore he was getting insects everyday.



As I'm actually off on vacation for a couple of weeks next weekend with somebody coming in to do my reptiles' water and check temps etc so I think I shall give him some more insects mid week then some just before I go on vacation. While I'm away that first week he could have his "fast" and the carer can give him some insects or a mouse or two the following weekend - then I return I can try feeding him every other day. Does that sound good to you?



I still consider myself a newbie at monitors and am grateful for your reply.
