Varanus exanthematicus
A behind the scenes look at the reptile rescue, this is a Savannah monitor. Also known as the bosc monitor in Europe. This is an adult male, Savannahs are the smallest of the Varanids, reaching lengths of 4 feet. Savannah monitors do not do the best in captivity, mostly specimens are wild caught and only last about a year before dying to poor conditions or obesity.
Per the name, Savannah monitors can be found in the Savannahs of Africa.
