Thanks, you and I both.


I'll be sure to post updates as well as pics and vids when they become available.





What's his diet mainly consist of now?


The new juvies won't even touch live food atm, they're already become spoiled on the turkey/egg/water mix (I just call it slurry) with added calcium/vitamin sups.. A number of monitor owners feed this, as well as the keepers at lllreptile.com (for their monitors and tegus)


It's by no means a new recipe, but I recently found out about it and gave it a try - these guys absolutely love it.


(1) lb. lean ground turkey

(2) eggs, raw, include the shell

10 oz. water

1 tb. spoon of calcium powder

1 tb. spoon of vitamins sups


Blend everything together until you have a nice, milk-shake like consistency. Make's quite a lot of food that can then be refrigerated.


This has in fact been used as a staple, most notably by the San Diego Zoo.
