Raw or hardboiled eggs would not be a good consistent diet. I would question the not feeding rodents thought as they are opportunistic feeders too.

Re: Savannah monitor questions
I felt the same before getting my savvie, he was rescue and I just could not turn away hence why I have so many animals.!!
I done some research and when he came home I started him on a varied diet. His main is the Turkey recipe and he has done really well on it. So I mix 500g quality turkey breast mince (this has less fat content), along with 2 good quality free range eggs (easy for me as I have chickens and turkeys), 1 tablespoon good qualiy calcium and 1 tablespoon nutrabol.
I also add in morio worms, I then measure out his feed amounts and freeze in small tubs. And thaw on the day. He wasn't in the best of condition but now he is looking so well, and such a huge character, very tame also which took around a month of persistent handling, now he can't get enough attention. I would not be without him. I say go for it.
Good luck

I agree, many savannah monitors actually do just fine when fed rodents and chicks. Variety is key with varanus.
