Any albig or bosc Ive had, or my flaviargus would be out in minutes, unless the floor is solid concrete under the dirt, which makes the cage very useless for a monitor that loves to dig and go under ground. Another point to consider the cage is not secure from the environment, and from local predators, or people. Consider that I know someone who lost a large gator to an insecure cage, she was shot by a jerk who broke in the outdoor building, but it was way more secure than that kennel.
The idea of using a dog kennel may seem like a good idea for a new keeper, but not at all for anyone who has kept them for any amount of time.
To be useful the floor of the cage would have to be solid concrete with about 2-4 ft of dirt on top of it, with built in drains that are escape proof, to prevent flooding. The sides of the bottom seem easy to slide through under the fencing before the bottom (monitors can fit through spaces you would never imagine, even at big sizes).
Consider how secure the top is, can it be torn by their claws, or strength. It may be a decent outdoor cage with direct supervision, but not to leave them alone in it.
Do you live in Florida? I ask because irresponsible owners in Florida in a few years have already caused us far more harm as monitor keepers with laws and restrictions than we have had in the entire history of man keeping monitors as captives.
