In the wild they eat anything they can overpower or scavenge. This includes smaller monitors, snakes, birds, eggs, insects, crustations, fish, frogs, rodents like rats and mice, big ones can eat a litter of jackal pups in one sitting. They eat HUGE amounts of food and grow rapidly.
In captivity the adult staple diet is rodents and baby chicks along with fish, eggs, crayfish and mussels. Large insects are also loved by these lizards . Ive found that the possible "favorite snack" is a small crustation called "sand fleas" that are sold in coastal baitshops. They are soft-shelled, bite sized and taste like lobster ( yeah I ate some once lol).
Babies can be fed calcium dusted crickets and meal worms along with dusted pinky mice. They also love cooked egg: Put an egg WITH SHELL into a blender and liquify the whole thing. Pour it onto a plate and microwave for 30 secs or so or until softly cooked. Scrape it into a pile and feed to babies or adults.
Growth rate can be astounding and my new 4 month old BT gains about 3/4" in length every 4-5 days on the diet I listed above. Variety is the key to health with these animals.
Hope this helps!
