Baby black throat eating

How often do you feed a baby black throat monitor? I asked the breeder so many questions that I forgot to ask this very major one!

Depends on your definition of "baby".

I acquired my V. ornatus at 3 weeks of age, and for the first six months I fed it twice daily. 15 or so adult crickets at noon and an appropriately sized mouse in the early evening.

Good luck with your new acquisition. Not knowing how much to feed something is a sure sign you've done plenty of research on this wonderful animal :colbert:

Did you pick one of the c.b. ones up at the show this weekend?

Yes, I picked one up from Shawn, the guy that walks one around at the expos. Great guy and really seems like he knows his stuff. He even let my wife walk the male around the expo!

Yea Im suppose to go by his hosue and pick one out if he didnt sell them all at the show. Its note everyday you find c.b. blackthroats

Where are the pics??? :D

I fed my baby Black throat twice a day, for the first 6-7 months, with a rodent every week.

Upon the 8 month mark, I was doing rodents every other day.....until he was 1 year, then he was on a PURE rodent diet.

You should feed him at least every day. A varied diet of rodents,chicks,ground turkey,eggs,shrimp.
