Re: My first monitor.. Varanus tristis orientalis (freckled monitor)

I'm getting just over 120 on the basking spot and the coldest temp I can find is 76-80 so all seems good.. He's sleeping atm I think so I'll tweezer feed him in the morning (day off work tomorrow) and then release a couple of gut loaded locust and see how he does..

Do I need to worry about the locust being a little bit large or will he just smash them to bits lol.

The temps sound o.k, and providing the locusts aren`t overely large the monitor should be able to handle them easily enough. By the way, locusts are an excellent prey choice.
