Ok, the caloric intake required by any given varanid is determined by the metabolic level the creature is able to attain and effectively utilize. In viable housing tthe lizard is able to reach optimal operating temps to peform the activities it needs/wants to, efficiently. So if you keep you lizards in a manner that allows this, you can feed em night and day and all they will do is grow and make more monitors. Not lie around hiding getting obese. A fat varanid is either gravid or improperly cared for. So theres no formula that says this much food for this many inches of lizard.y
