In a nutshell, no. "Green" Lizards can live in the same footprint you can keep a Monitor (Snakes, Crocodilians, Chelonians etc. ) in. I've done it for years with no issues. UVB/UVA is a captive fallacy. With a proper Thermal gradient, substrate, cover, water etc. they will do just fine with ambient light. Instead of gawking and shuffling around the subject, why not setup one of your "Green" lizards ( whether it be an carnivorous or omnivorous - never met a Lizard that was a true Vegetarian ) in the "Monitor" footprint and see how it does? BTW, my "Green" Lizards and Crickets eat Mazuri Tortoise food exclusively, are they not suspossed to do that?
