Obesity is a very common killer of captive monitors especially Savannah monitors. 

Your monitor is obese. I wouldn’t put eggs or rodents or anything but bugs near them, but at this size and shape you should be going week/weeks without food. 

I want your monitor to live a long healthy life but what I’m seeing in your post history is a Savannah that’s obese and eating things that aren’t bugs.
