I recently bought a Dumeril's monitor at the NARBC show in Chicago and I am wondering if anyone knows of anywhere I can get crustaceans for cheap. It could get very expensive if I continue to just get them from pet stores...Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. What do all of you other Dumeril's monitors owners do?

Hi,
Check with your local Chicago Herpetological Society members there - especially a good fellow by name of Erik Williams - he knows his fish and crustacea and Varanus too....owners of V. dumerillii, no matter how large/small their terraria are do feed them crayfish - cant remember where he gets it from through - he goes by name "Tectovaranus - Ben A." on this forum...
There is also a article on Dumeril's monitor in Reptiles Magazine, March, 2004 issue..
Good Luck,
mbayless
I have raised mine on mice, chicks, and on occasion whole fish (smelt).
Someone posted on here a place that had crayfish, but it was removed as it was seen as an ad. So you may want to just have them email you it instead.
Good luck with your dumerils.
i sent you the guys e-mail that was previously posted
Sweet thanks for all the help guys.
