Josh, you and I agree on a lot and I love you bro, but seriously, do you know anyone who successfully kept or bred large monitor species on a strict insect only diet? Not that you are BSing. I would say whoever told you they did was BSing. I only know of 2 people in the US who bred savannahs in captivity and they all used mice in the diet.
I can see this being possible with Aussie dwarf species but not with larger species of varanids like savannahs. From my personal experience, mice are needed. We even feed our dwarfs rodents a couple of times a week.
