i recently purchaced 2 baby sumatran water monitors and ive been feeding them adult dusted crickets. they will basically eat as much as i give them and i want them to grow as fast as possible without risking thier health. what is the maximum i can feed them? (or is there a maximum?)

thanks

I am not familiar that particular species but I do know monitors can be prone to obesity, so yes, you can definatlry overfeed. The key is to vary their diet and not feed them too many rodents. Also, make sure you house them seperatley. Sorry I can't be more specific, good luck.
