I think that's far too small for V. gilleni or V. acanthurus. Maybe V. brevicauda or V. storri.

I wouldn't keep Ackies in there but I think Gillens could manage - I would choose a larger enclosure for them though...

...Gilleni are also the smallest Monitors availabe to Class 1 NSW. I would recommend at least a 4ft enclosure as Monitors are VERY active animals...

For adult size I would say it is too narrow for any of the species you have mentioned...

Have you considered a smaller dragon species like Central Netteds?
