Feeding & Watering
Mangrove Monitors eat a variety of food and when they are young, make sure the food you provide them is also small – as a daily diet, they eat mealworms, crickets, eggs, and hoppers. Adults will eat mice, small rats, chicks and different seafood (they have been known to eat crayfish).

How do you care for a mangrove monitor?
Mangrove Monitor Care
You will need to provide a very large enclosure, precise heating, lighting and humidity levels, a specific diet and a constant water source. Any type of enclosure you use will need to be kept extremely clean, and the substrate should never become too wet.
