Hi WRC1228, not sure who told you Savannah monitors are mainly insectivores, but that`s totally WRONG?!
If you`re refering to the studies by Daniel bennett, in that case, the animals were feeding mainly on Giant African milipedes and snails, NOT insects...
As far as I know, Daniel has never said they cannot/should not consume rodents in captivity.
Kept under optimum conditions, a diet consisting mainly, or exclusively of rodents, will support them in every way.
Obesity is NOT caused by feeding rodents, but in the main, by keeping these animals undermetabolised...
