do any monitors eat mainly meat like a tegu?

all monitors or at leat 96 percent of monitors eat strictly meat. Only the buutan found in the eastern islands eats fruit. Everyone else can eat mice rats and even prepared meats, meaning meats butchered but not cooked
It really depends on the monitor. A varied diet is the best diet. A lot of your smaller monitor species require mostly insects, snails, other reptiles, and such. The biggest mistake made with monitors is too much of a rodent diet. Even the larger monitor species do better with a varied diet consisting of rodents, button quail and their eggs, fish, large snails (ie mystery snails), etc. Also a major thing people mess up with monitors is over feeding. I hope this helped.
