[QUOTE="SicAudio, post: 6604698, member: 609136"] chewy got loose several years ago he was actually closer to 7 feet nose to tail he was not a caged animal. The Savannah Monitor (Varanus exanthematicus) is a species of monitor lizard native to Africa. The species is known as Bosc's Monitor in Europe, since a French Scientist named Louis Bosc first described the species.[1] [edit] In captivity This species is readily available in the pet trade. Juvenile animals are collected from several countries in West Africa (mainly Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria) and exported worldwide. Animals sold as "captive bred", "captive farmed" or ranched are most often the offspring of gravid females collected during the breeding season.The eggs are later incubated by exporters. However, Savannah Monitors have been bred in captivity with some degree of regularity. Adult specimens sometimes become unwanted pets due to their large size. Bosc's Monitor is often confused with the Whitethroat Monitor (Varanus albigularis) which can grow to lengths of 1.5–2 meters (5–6 feet). [/QUOTE]
