I think you are missing the boat about varanids husbandry.
It’s not about lights or space! It’s about how they relate to your monitors? How they will serve them.

Do you really think having an extra large cage with all the goodies will automatically set you up for success?

Sorry but in my book we use raise up cages so that we can offer these monitors usable options, then as they grow we progress to larger cages with similar options on a larger scale, of course by then you will know witch monitors can be housed together and witch will kill each other.

Simple smaller allows you to make pertinent observation of any monitors progress, if one doesn’t feed you see it and make the necessary corrections, you will need to separate them sooner or later.

Throwing 6 individuals in a larger set up will make everything more complicated.
