I gotten this 7 inches clouded monitor yesterday and it is not eating! I left 5 mealworms in his cage yesterday night but they are still there today.I just removed the box, used for its hiding, cause I was thinking my lizard didn't saw them?
It is a Southeast Asia species.
Answer
use fast moving prey crickets and cockroaches you can also do small bits (no more than 10% of weekly diet) of ground raw turkey also try fresh killed pinkie mouse heads and intestines (the more blood the better). and one day is pretty quick to expect it to eat, how many monitor species have you worked with in the past?

Baby Savannah Monitor Lizard?

Ive had my baby Savannah Monitor Lizard for about a month now, & ive made sure to hold him 10-30 minutes each and every day because i heard if you don't handle him frequently he'll become aggressive. But the thing is, he is so shy and scared of me.. Im very gently with him & he will sleep next to me and cuddle sometimes but if hes out in the open or my hands aren't cuffed while holding him he'll quickly jump and run away.. i sometimes walk by his cage when He's in there and il spot him on top of his little cave basking but the second i walk in the room he'll run and hide... im hoping he wont always be this distant but he might just still be getting used to me. Does anyone know any ways i could build trust with him at this age? he wont let me hand feed him or anything quite yet either, he wont even eat if im in the room, but the second i leave and come back all of his food in his bowl is gone, hes not agressive whatsoever, just shy.

Mine was like that when i first got him. I just moved slowly around him and pet him for a bit before picking him up. All baby lizards are a bit flighty and will choose to run away when given the chance. This will go away as he grows and becomes more confident. Right now, he sees you as a predator because you are so much larger than him. But, as he gets larger, his natural fear of predators will go away. Mine is puppy dog tame now and hes 3 years old.
