Eating raw rotten meat is normal for Tegus and Monitors in the wild. In a healthy animal their immune system will take care of it. I would not let small children (under 5ish), elderly or people with a compromised immune system clean out a cage or handle a reptile. I they get there hand in there mouths they may get sick. If they do use sanitizer. Its all common sense. This is way I said he was kind of right.
