Recently put an order through Keep Better for frozen mice and rats for our snakes, monitors and more, and I’ve been seriously impressed!!

Great quality feeders, really competitive prices, fast delivery and everything arrived perfectly packed and straight to the door. It’s game changing.👌

When you’re feeding a decent reptile collection, having a reliable source of quality feeders at a great price makes a massive difference and these guys absolutely delivered.

Definitely worth checking out if you’re an Aussie keeper/Carer looking for mice and rats!

Not sponsored or paid just giving credit where it’s due and supporting a family business after a genuinely great experience 🤝

⚠️ Graphic warning Feeding time ⚠️

Lace monitors are Australia’s second largest monitor. In the wild, they eat a wide variety of food including rats, birds, reptiles, eggs, insects and even animals they find already dead.

Their sharp teeth, strong jaws and powerful digestive system allow them to safely eat large meals like this.

Although it may look confronting to some people, this is completely natural behaviour and an important part of a healthy monitor’s diet.

Nature isn’t always pretty, but it’s fascinating 🖤

The Varanus gouldii flavirufus is a subspecies of Gould’s monitor found throughout Australia’s arid and semi arid regions.

Strong climbers when they need too, powerful diggers, and always on the move 🏜️🛘

Ever heard a lace monitor huff? 💨

That loud huffing sound isn’t aggression it’s communication.

When a lace monitor feels unsure, threatened, or wants to create some space, it will often force air out of its lungs to produce this deep huff. It’s a warning that says, “I’m uncomfortable, don’t come any closer.”

Understanding these behaviours is one of the best ways to build trust with your monitor. By recognising their body language and respecting their boundaries, you can avoid unnecessary stress and create more positive interactions over time.

Learning to read your animal is just as important as learning how to care for it. 🖤🤍

Diamond pythons are one of Australia’s most iconic pythons, known for their incredible patterning and beautiful natural variations, From deep blacks and whites to these incredible high yellows, every diamond python has its own unique beauty.

But how stunning is this yellow diamond though! 💛✨🐍

You can’t force trust with varanids… here’s why ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Trust isn’t given, it’s earned! Every calm interaction matters so with each time it’s a step closer in building that bond. Understanding their behaviour makes all the difference.

If you want a deeper understanding of your monitors for taming, handling, and general care, check out the book called “The Language of the Varanids” by Rory Shumack . Highly recommend it to anyone keeping monitors 🔥

Acting like this mealworm is fighting back 😂
Shinglebacks will often shake or thrash their food around to break it down and position it for an easier swallow 🗿
