Hi my team,
I can help you with some info, the Mertens Water Monitor diet includes fish, freshwater crabs, frogs, insects and if available turtle eggs ( though i very much doubt we as keepers could ever provide
lol )
Breeding takes place throughout the year with a bias towards the dry season ( winter pattern). 3 to 12 eggs in a clutch 270 days and 30c to hatch. Habitat: Tropical to sub-tropical river banks, swamps and lagoon edges, which may be in rocky escarpments or sedimentary flood plains with riverside forest, woodland or tall shrubland. Head and body length 47.5cm total length 117cm. Here is a great link I found with some more info on the Mertens Water Monitor
Varanus mertensi.
The Mitchells Water Monitor Diet includes fish, insects, freshwater crabs, spiders and small vertebrates. Females are gravid in dry season Lay from 3 to 11 eggs.

Try and get yourself a copy of a book called Encyclopeadia of Australian Animals Reptile Edition written By Harold Ehmann The National Photographic Index of Australian Wildlife. published in 1992. Fantastic book for any reptile keeper has everything and anything on every aussie reptile there is in great detail. inc. sub species. This is where i got this info from.
Hope it helps!
