I know this guy who is raising a pair of baby monitors in this really big size enclosure, and his always find the food just fine.


I heard it's good stimulation for the animals to hunt for their prey.

Ha! Ive heard of that guy too!

Monitors are much different than chameleons. You want them moving! The more they have to search for their food, the better in my opinion. Keep them active as much as possible.
