Hey, As you know I have a White Throated Monitor.
I've mainly got it on a diet of cow heart.. with occasional Crickets, pinkies, liver, cat food.. all sorts.

I must be doing something right, because he is growing like a beast.. Which leads to a constant shed..

I have no problems with him shedding as I bath him approx 3-4 times a week.

I just wondered whether it was bad for them to ALWAYS be shedding?
Any ideas/opinions would be appreciated.

Oh, and just to give you a clue about how fast hes growing.. I was away all last week, and he grew 3 inches longer. (head to tail)

I've had him for.. maybe a month and a half.. and He was half a foot.. now hes maybe 2 - 2 1/2 foot long.
