sorry i didn't respond to the last one, was doing memorial day things yesterday. still trying to figure out how to get those pictures from my neighbor's phone to my computer, but i do have good news.

for those that haven't read my past threads, i'd received a extremely skinny monitor from outback reptiles that wasn't feeding.

i know someone asked for the temp of the basking spot after making adjustments, it's now reading 130F.

(just gonna call it a female, though gender is still unknown for the moment)
she's been burrowing around, spending a lot less time under her basking spot. been coming out of hiding to cruise around. this morning i flipped on her lights when i woke up, she came out of hiding shortly after and sat in her basking spot for maybe a minute or two before walking around her enclosure.

while i was gone yesterday majority of the superworms and waxworms i'd set out were eaten, so she did eat yesterday.

gonna put out a hopper/small mouse(it's a bit between those sizes) sliced in half.

Hi, good to hear the monitor`s eating, it has to be expected that their appetite will be affected before acclimation. The basking spot temp is fine. The photos will be even more appreciated because of the loooong wait! ;)

If shes the size of the one that you had posted a picture of, or similar, you probably won't need to slice it in half.
