Plain monitor lizards (certain introduction)
Originally, monitor lizards like to eat meat, but they are not picky eaters at all. As long as it is food, they will accept it. When young, plain monitor lizards can be fed crickets (certain introduction), barley worms and other foods, and when they grow up, they can change their food according to their size and age. When we decide to raise a plain monitor lizard, we need to understand their basic habits and food requirements so that we can take care of them in the future.
First feed them crickets, and then try feeding them goldfish. The low price makes goldfish a very economical food. When they're close to a foot long, add baby mice and canned monitor lizard food to their menu. A little Ping couldn't finish a whole can of monitor lizard at one time, so he cut the monitor lizard food into several pieces and put the excess in the refrigerator. When they grow older, you can feed mice (of course, kill them manually first). It is recommended that you use frozen mice (of course, they must be thawed before feeding). They like to eat hard-boiled eggs and will chase eggs sliding on the floor of the box. Unshelled eggs can compensate for their lack of calcium. They will also eat raw eggs, but this will make them very foul. If you are interested in playing an "egg football game", you will know how long the discarded egg slurry will stick to the environment... In addition, raw eggs are not good for the absorption of vitamin H.
Original monitor lizards are considered a relatively mild-tempered species among monitor lizards. However, considering their large size after maturity and the damage they may cause due to their strong bite force, you should still pay more attention when interacting with them. Exposure to them from the larval stage will make the monitor lizards more accustomed to human presence and contact, thus reducing the chance of them attacking due to stress and fear. At all times, it is important to remember that these gentle animals are also driven by their nature, and their next steps are unpredictable, so it is always wise to take precautions.
Sense of security
Giant monitor lizards, especially young monitor lizards, need a cave or a piece of wood to hide (inside, behind or underneath). They squeeze into every crack. Cork tree holes are particularly suitable as shelter holes for them.
Water
The monitor lizard likes to wander in the water. They are less likely than other monitor lizards to attempt to knock over their water dishes.However, you still need to use a heavy sink or large bowl. And since they use their sinks as a dressing area, you'll need to change the water frequently.
Curiosity
Monitor lizards like to study their surroundings. Give them some branches and rocks to crawl on, or give them some holes to crawl through. If you give them a box of sand or soil, they are likely to run in and play. They like changing situations.
