What does "I don't have a factory to breed all the species in the world" have to do with anything? These guys breed monitors successfully because they are passionate about it and have years of experience to draw from. They learned from their mistakes and figured out what is important and what is just window dressing. The problem with these forums is that anybody can offer advice, regardless of whether this advice is merely half-baked academic dogma or real world, useful information.
You have three monitors and they are all alive. That is not so impressive. Some of these guys have been breeding monitors for years. Do yourself a favor and pick up some copies of VIVARIUM from the mid to late 90's. There was a series of interviews with FR which are fascinating. Also, maybe some pictures of his "factory".
