These two little ackies eat like machines. I dump a ton of crickets in there and then its like Jaws, I check again and some are gone and then wham none left. I have yet to see them eat or doing anything, but I have cleaned up a ton of poop and threw a ton of crickets in there.

I can now see why the bigger guys can be so expensive. Its good to be back in the lizard game again.

Just wish I could see them. I can catch them out basking but as soon as I turn the light on or open the door, they care gone!

Give them time and do things on their terms and there is pretty much no doubt they will come around. It doesn't even take that long.

Just keep doing what you are doing, do not force anything apon them, for they have quite the memory and will be more unforgiving of you.

I get a kick out of watching the ackies hit roaches and crickets and it never gets old.

Goodluck,
Mike.

Thanks, I guess this is one of those learning moments when dealing with a monitor.

When dealing with monitors all of your moments will be spent learning. That I think, is what makes them so unique in the reptile world.

Cheers,
Mike.
