*puts on scolding suit* I had done so good with my water monitor...

To the OP, pick up a thing of reptical multi vitamins and give your little guy some high grade raw ground beef sprinkled with the multivitamin every day. Take the left over beef out after about an hour and toss it. This is what alot of breeders start hatchlings on and it really helps to beef them up and keep them healthy.

That is the worst advice I have herd in a while.First off monitor need whole prey items meaning the whole body.Whole crickets,whole roaches,and whole mice.Second Savannas eat mainly insects,so why would you feed it ground beef.Have you ever owned a monitor ?They advice you have given will lead to a dead monitor with in a year.


That monitor dose look on deaths door,it is very dehydrated.You most provide a well sealed cage and give him options of temperature and humidity.give him a good dirt sand mix deep enough for him to burrow in,and give him a basking site of a least 120
