Feeding
Feed daily a variety of foods so the yellow tree monitor for sale has a balanced diet and don’t become bored eating the same thing everyday. I feed mainly insects like roaches and crickets. Less often I will feed moths, butterflies,silkworm,waxworm, hornworm and superworm.
I feed meaty items a couple times a month, these include rodents, birds, shrimp, ground turkey and cooked eggs.
Insects are gut loaded before feeding and dusted weekly with calcium plus vitamin D3 powder, I will also add this supplement to ground turkey. Once a month I will dust insects with a multivitamin.
