Try to find some studies on the natual diets of some monitors. I'm guessing some exists. I'm sure you will find the diet is vaired... I think that is the point. They might be meat eaters but the nutrients required are the same.
>>Meat diet to leafy veggie diet that is. That would be comparing apples to oranges. I think what was said is to compare apples to apples.
>>
>>Veggie diets need alot more variety to make up for what the other is lacking. So it doesn't suprise me if only feeding them one or two type os vegetation didnt work as well as feeding them more variety.
>>
>>Monitors however are meat eaters as was stated with exception of two not well known species. I believe even they have shown to have meat in the diet. So comparing monitor diets to a snakes diet would be apples to apples.
