why do you think a 29 gallon cage is a big cage? I posted to someone else earlier on this that I wouldn't keep pygmy leaf chameleons in a tank that small and most of them can balance on the end of your finger at adult size and they are suited very well to tank culture unlike other chameleons.
20 gallon tanks are fine for small snakes and leopard geckos and not much else most serious fish keepers will only use them for breeder tanks or feeder tanks and that's about it.
Worst case scenario I would consider putting a hatchling monitor that someone gave me unexpectedly in a 20 gallon for a day or two tops until I straightened around better quarters for it.
BTW why would you only feed it egg whites? When I feed eggs to my monitors I feed them whole shell and all. That is how they eat them in the wild, or at least I always thought so. Perhaps there is some new fad diet out there in the monitor world where they only eat the egg whites? Are monitors worried about too much cholesterol or something these days?
