Its about you because of what your saying, You said, i feed more then two items and the monitors like it or them.



I keep saying what diet allows monitors to grow and prosper, reproduce and attain good longevity. It really has nothing to do with what the monitors like. If you go there, they would dearly like to be free.



And my base diet is indeed mice and crickets with most or the species we have. Base diet means what they get most of the time. But that is not all they get. If I find a wounded bird, or a freshly killed rabbit, often some monitor gets it. Or during the season of cicadas, we throw in lots of those. Or large grasshoppers, if they jump into my hand or net.



The key to understanding this is, a base diet that works. Not what you or others call treats. The truth is, monitors like to eat, and in all reality, rarely do most here fill their monitors stomachs. So to allow a monitor to eat until full, would indeed be a treat. And surely the monitor would "like" that.



In this varanid world of near total failure, the basics are so very important. To understand the basics is Key to success for the animal, not you.



You guys go on with, I do this and I do that, yet, you have shown no ability to support your animals to success in life. So it is indeed about you. Or you would be concerned with your animals progress, not more then two food items.



If one food item takes a monitor to aduldhood and repeated reproduction and longevity, then its better then 10 food items that don't. You really need to get that in your head.
