Turn your volume up lol
Tried to get a better video but I dropped the shrimp while trying to get him out, and he grabbed it and retreated.

Re: The mangrove eating shrimp
No its cooked (fried), it was left over from red lobster :-P
Just a quick question, what exactly is the difference between regular shrimp and organic anyways?

Re: The mangrove eating shrimp
im going to hope you were joking lol... the difference is organic doesn't have any preservatives in it and no fillers or artificial anything, if you feed regular shrimp you can make your monitor sick.

Re: The mangrove eating shrimp
why would you call me debbie downer? you will realize that a lot of people who own monitors dont know half of what they need to know to keep it alive, much less help it thrive. i see some stuff that makes me wanna make sure everything is right when it comes to these guys and people owning them as pets.

Re: The mangrove eating shrimp
It doesn't have to be every comment on every thread by everyone who isn't a senior member here. Which I'm beginning to notice is becoming a pattern. I'm glad you feel so passionate about it, and are concerned for the monitors, but you don't have to try and find something wrong every time. Its just a video of a monitor eating something and making loud crunches.....and I actually knew you were going to ask me what hes eating.
And if you watch debby downer, she manages to ruin all the fun by saying something negative about everything.

The primary "poison" in non organic shrimp is Sodium Tripolyphosphate, it's used to keep the shrimp shiny and slick and for "moisture & texture" however this same ingredient is also the primary agent used in laundry detergent, dish soap and car washing fluid.
Not something I would be comfortable feeding to reptiles.

you see it as negative, i see it as making sure you are feeding your lizard properly so it can thrive. when I started with monitors i had someone go through all of my threads and ask me more questions then i do and criticize me more than i do to other so i dont feel bad, if there is a chance it can save the monitor or make it better than i will ay what needs to be said.

Regular shrimp have lots of healthy, FDA approved chemicals and preservatives, maybe even some Chloramphenicol if you get really lucky and some slips in from some Asian farm...

I don't care if you ask questions, but it doesnt have to be the only thing you do. On gabriellas thread all you did was speak negatively and demand pics of the enclosure. Don't give a negative vibe, try to do this thing called 'complimenting'. Your enclosure looks great, how deep is the substrate? Not , hmm this is confusing, why are you refusing to show me a pic??

Thanks, my dad gets them whole sale and they are organic. But....he likes to eat them so he probably isn't going to be happy that I'm stealing them for a while. Any specific brands you guys prefer for shrimp/crayfish and approximate prices?
They aren't going to be the major portion of the diet, because my dubias will get out of hand. I stopped feeding them fish food, they are now eating some fruit, lots of carrots and dandelion greens.

While I agree that it is good to look out for others, maybe it would be best to step back and see if there is any evidence of improper husbandry? Not including every detail does not necessarily mean that something is wrong...
Also, the video description says "Mangrove eating large organic shrimp".

Re: The mangrove eating shrimp
i aid confusing because it was asked SEVERAL times before and all she had to show was pics of the monitor only, and even in the end of the thread she said its not in the best enclosure its not big enough which is what i thought, you will find, that most people wont show you pictures or always make excuses when they are doing something wrong. it has always been the case so i get skeptical of people, yes, but only because i care about the monitor, they can hate me all they want, but if something i say can help that lizard than its well worth the hate in my opinion.
