Savannah Monitor diet debate thread

[mo9e64]

You are right nobody is breeding the same female multiple times.Frank Retes says sometimes you don't see reproductive problems till up to the third clutch-these deathes caused by husbandry issues.i think the error is thinking Sav's are different than any other monitor.few would disagree that Prasinus are not a more difficult monitor to keep-yet they are being kept successfully feeding mice or lizards whole prey items-the only thing that hasn't lead to their success in breeding is nobody seems to have figured out their nesting preferences.
The area of reproductive problems is an area not covered because people don't get that far.and from discussions i have with people that understand this area,it contradicts alot of what is said-such under proper conditions female monitors need alot of food-these animals in the wild search and feed -and stop feeding when their needs are met.but if kept in conditions that are not acceptable they will continue feeding and store fat, be lethargic, if it's too cold or dry ,and starve if they aren't fed enough in hotter conditions.
The context of what i am saying is under proper husbandry-so exercise as many will interject is included.
