Depends what you expect from it???
If you want little sucess or little results when it comes to health or growth go ahead feed it corflakes to.
This quote seems interesting
"boiled chicken is a very hardy meal for a monitor. Every feeding though?
I would split it between can dog food, chicken, boiled eggs, turkey and rats/mice."
The only food listed there suitable for monitors is rats and mice, if you wanted variety you can add chicken peeps, quail, crickets, roaches, superworms, etc, why would they need any more than that?
Anyways if you feed insects they need suplimented with a good quality calcium/vit D3 supplement such as Miner-all or herpcal. The whole animal foods such as rodents and birds need no supplementation. These foods give all needed nutrients and are the only proven diet to allow normal reproduction in captivity with monitors, this tells you something about one of the most basic parts of their care, its a cornerstone to build from.
If you are referring to odatria or dwarf species then you can feed them a basis of supplemented insects their whole life.
People food is just that, dogfood is CRAP, catfood is crap, dont feed it to your monitor!!! Turkey diet doesnt clean the system out, and is very very runny as well very foul smelling when it comes out (ask your own doctor about this, its a problem so stop eating what causes it).
Stick with what works, dont make you and your monitor another statistic that gets flushed in a few months to a year.
Good luck.
