Baby Bosc Monitor

Bosc Monitors are generally a dull greyish colour with lighter oval dotted over their bodies, these can vary between burnt orange and olive green. Their heads are fairly blunt at the snout and wide at the ears. The underside is usually white with greyish dots/lines in an irregular pattern. Its tongue is long and forked at the end, and is pink up until about halfway, then is blue down to the tip. They frequently flick out their tongue when out and about. The size of an adult monitor can vary, the longest being around the 5ft mark, the smallest being around the 2.5-3ft mark, with many falling in between. They are not sexually dimorphic so are difficult
The Bosc or Savannah Monitor is, as the latter name suggests, a species from central and southern Africa, with range from as far west as Senegal and Gambia, through Mali, Niger and Chad, to as far east as Sudan and Ethiopia. Their natural habitat is usually savannah areas, as well as scrubs, and arid grasslands with hot dry summers and monsoon like winters.

Because of the size and the time required to keep these lizards we do not recommend these for beginners
