Social Structure in Savannas?!?

[Gorelith]

I decided to give Savy a treat today, he just loves tunafish. I opened the can and drained the water as if I was going to make a sandwich for myself and then started spoonfeeding him. He quickly grew tired of the spoon so I put nearly a full can in his food dish. After eating a fair amount (roughly half the can) he stopped. The whole time he was eating I was about 12 inches away from his face. He started rubbing his nose on the carpet, looking at me all the while swaying his neck back and forth almost as if to say, "o.k., your turn". I then copied exactly what he did, pretending to eat some tuna, swallowing it with little jaw snaps as all sav's do. And then rubbed my chin on the carpet watching him from the corner of my eye. He went from watching me right back to eating. I realize he may have been simply wiping tunajuice from his mouth, but is it possible that savanna monitors have a social feeding structure similar to that of crocs and their close relative the komodo, and is it possible that this may be what i've been apart of. I know they're very intelligent and have hopefully intrigued others to study the savanna's from a somewhat natural point of view. What amazing animals!
