Re: Rescued Nile Monitor. Need advice.

Any seafood items must be certified organic, chemical free.

(Much like your concern with the Wal Mart worms)

Frozen seafood is commonly treated with a nasty chemical called SodiumTripolyPhosphate, the same chemical used in dish detergents, laundry soap and car washing fluid.

That's right, I won't even eat that rubbish.

The abbreviation for this chemical is STPP, it's listed right on the bag.

Too bad, I can get a huge bag of shrimp at Wal Mart for $5, but it causes organ damage in reptiles. Soooo I am forced to buy the $13 per pound organic stuff.

Phosphates in food!

I have lost a few reptiles over this in the past, and it's a horrible way to die.

I agree, ask all you want, it's for the best.
