Greetings Jay, not sure why you did not get a thoughtful repsonse to your Q given the experience around here. Maybe it is overlooked in the midst of the previous contentious thread? I don't keep monitors yet, but it is evident to me that most folks agree that whole bodied animals are favored, and many agree you can't go wrong with rodents. Some think there are benefits to supplementing the rodent diet with other items, but others stress that just sticking to rodents is the best course. Just for interest what are you feeding your monitor now and why?
