He'll take f/t meals now,.. the only thing I fed live was crickets, mealworms and things like that. As they get bigger they're no longer interested in them so food aggression wasn't an issue. Probably the mind set of why works so hard for something so small and of little nutritional value especially when better food is brought to them on a regular basis. Which I wouldn't argue with.
I keep mine on a primarily whole prey diet with raw meats (from seafood to ground turkey) and fruits in between for lighter meals. Which reminds me Reds require more fruit in their diet than other tegus. So start him early on a variety of foods if they haven't already,... the sooner the better. It makes them easier to feed as they get older instead of just sticking to one thing or the other, they are less picky.
