that would depend, I have a pretty good idea what the burrow network must be like inside my cage based on seeing for instance Littlefoot enter in the far right hand side and exit a couple minutes later on the opposite side of the cage.

they have a whole system of tunnels going on, complete with "emergency exits" that can be busted through quickly.

I am thinking about a "cage" 12' or 14' square..

I get what you are saying Wayne but I still think for the safety of the monitors it would be ok to have that divider in the middle. Maybe I am mistaken but in a larger cage/room It shouldn't affect as much as it would in a smaller cage.

I dumped 100 crickets into my enclosure hoping to stimulate the lizards, they went into feeding mode and started fighting.

even with 99 other crickets to chose from, they both wanted the same one.

You know, thinking about it I've only had this problem with my doreanus. I keep food in my enclosures pretty much 100% of the time, and I haven't noticed any fighting. I've had some tugging and eating the same food, but no actual fighting.
