You are right there is not enough evidence to support either side of the argument.As 90% of all Savannas are not kept at optimal condition.Its is also my opinion that they are far more specialized that we can not meet their dietary needs in captivty.The reason I say this is because just as many fail when set up right when fed either diet.I do support Daniels finding it was done over a long period of time,and other animals where used.
I think we should do our best to meet their dietary needs,but I also feel you can not sustain a 3 to 4 foot monitor on crickets.Too many are dying from being fed to many rodents where as I don't think they can survive solely on the type of insects we offer in captivty.Which leads me to believe they should not be kept in captivty.
