When feeding growned turky is it better to cook it or is better to leave it raw? I also have another question,I got a water monitor about a month ago i he is about 18 inches and i have him in A 55gal and i was woundering how long it will take for him to grow of is tank,just so i can now when to build him his permanent encouser. He is growing fast he has alrighty shed twice.

Why not build him a bigger enclosure now? I guarantee he won't [bleep] about having more room to roam.

Well peep argue about if we should cook it or give it raw. Some peep say if u cook it that it takes the nutrition away. Well turky realy isnt for nutrition its a filler not a staple or main diet its mostly fat.But peep also cook it to kill bug pasisties and germs.Them some peep say its not normal for them to eat cooked food they eat it in the wild raw.It depends on ur opinion.Im still trying to make the same decision. But if u give it to them raw u can buy the turky.Depenting on the size of the moniter roll the balls that they can eat,indivial rolls and wrap them in tin foil separetly. Then place in a frezzer zip lock bag that way u can pull out as may of then u want.That way u dont waste any.Plus frezzing it will kill bug pasisites and germs. So just pull out what u want in the zip lock and let them thaw in the frig. Its no realy safe to let any food thawl on the counter or sink. Lol I took some cooking classes and its dangerous.I cant talk I do it all the time.Just make sure to either warm that turky balls or make sure there at least room temp.Warming them a litt would be good. Good luck! And of couse u can wrap the turkey lik this either way if u cook or not its a great and easy and money saving way to store them!

raw is fine. use the very lean 97% fat free. add bone meal and a reptile vitamin and you have the San Diego Zoo diet. you should also be feeding insects and rodents. don't rely on turkey burger 100%. it's not complete nutrition.
