Hey bp.net i just acquired a peacock monitor or blue spotted timor monitor about 15 inches and maybe 6 months to a year old if i had to guess. I bought him/her from Outback Reptiles at the All Maryland reptile show on March 7th 2015. I'm assuming he is wild caught judging by a few small scars on his legs and back.

Now I have a few questions about it. He regularly walks around and basks in the open and rarely hides unless I put my arm in his enclosure to spray or change water. What is the best food to start him off on? I bought superworms but he just walks right passed them without acknowledgment. How long would it be until he starts eating for me? Also he is in a 6'x3'x3' with about 6 to 8 inches of eco earth but I want to build him a smaller yet taller enclosure. Do you guys think a 3'x2'x5' would be okay? Thank you in advance ☺
