I have some whitethroat monitors and they all love their Dubia roaches.. They are very easy to mantain, cannot climb glass and are good sized for almost any size monitor.

I recommend feeding them a quality roach gutload mix like the one from cricketfood.com along with mixed vegetables and fruit instead of dog food. ( your animals are what they eat

good luck..

Any Roach species make great feeders.
Lobsters are the fastest breeders though.
You shouldn't even feed dog food to your dog...let alone other animals!

Dog food is crap!
If you feed dog food to any feeder animal that feeder is no better than the junk dog food.

Remember you are what you eat...all the way down the line!!
