Hey guys
I am proudly the new temporary owner of a Ridge-tailed monitor! She is blind in one eye due to a cataract and has had the tip of her tail nipped off as a bub, so isn't perfect looking but she is Mt Isa form/locale and very pretty. A little flighty when shes in her enclosure as I've just received her but goes to sleep in/on my hand and prefers my hand to her new enclosure..!
Taking care of her for a week before she goes to my boyfriend for xmas/bday present, hence her new name TeAmo (Te Amo = i love you)
Anyway, i would like some feeding advice...
The previous owner only fed live pinky mice, nothing else. I have fed her two thawed pinkies no issue. She ignores mealworms and doesn't seem to think they're food. Yet to try superworms. (The container was marked superworms, from Pisces food, but they are in fact mealworms...weird.)
So I'm here to ask, how do i get her onto meal/super worms..? And any other food for that case?
Will update with pics once she is a tad more 'settled'
Thanks in advance
Becky

Also i tried scenting the worms with a mouse, but that doesn't work
