They are new. they are 2.5 years old, so they have obviously been eating. I have them in a 150 gal terrerium, basking temp is 100, cool side of cage is about 80, they are on cypress mulch(which i don't know if this is good for them), they have a half log hide, and a fairly large fake tree to hide. The humidity is not very high. I have seen the smaller one eat some egg, and it also killed 2 mice, eating one of them, and then regurging it. I have also tried ground turkey, and crickets. Any help is great, any info I come accross is not very detailed. I know they were stressed when they arrived, but I try not to interact with them too much, because I know the species is shy. I really appreciate any info regarding this wonderful species of monitor!
