Fecal matter isn't part of the natural springtail diet. Though they will eat what's available, they need a food source separate to the poop in order to thrive. Chances are the springtails are more interested in the plant particulates in the soil. If the monitor ingests dirt when he eats, those particulates are present in the feces which is what the springtails are attracted to.
