If you would like some assistance with this, may I make some suggestions:

1 - Learn to type. I can barely read your post.
2 - Provide as much information as possible. What are the setup conditions? What are the temperatures involved? Tell us more about the lizard; age, size, temperament, etc.

It is very hard to give helpful information when we are told next to nothing. It's like posting:

"My pet lizard died. Why?"

Make sure it has a basking spot of 100-120. make sure its got a substrate that holds humidity and he\she can dig. Food wise it can be fed just a rodent diet but do not over feed it rodents. To much will cause health problems to your monitor. You can feed him\her crickets,superworms,roaches,fish as well. I use to feed mine mainly insects then 1-2 mice a week depending on the size of the animal. There is the san diego zoo diet but that is not recommended to new owners. It has to be made correctly or its worthless.
