I really don`t understand what you`re trying to say?

"Monitors in the wild that are healthly, gorge feed and brumate" {Enquote].
How is gorge feeding and brumating (in itself), making wild Savannah monitors healthy, when they are "forced" to live that way because of adverse conditions at certain times?
I ask again; if they receive the same total ammount of food over a 12 month period without brumation or gorging, why would that be unhealthy for them in captivity?
Who told you brumation is necessary for successfully breeding captive Savannah monitors kept under optimuum conditions year-round?
The 3 ft long should be sexually mature, do you know if it`s male or female?
