Bosc monitor is a Savannah Monitor, and the African trappers call them BOK. (their version of Bosc)
The generic name Varanus is derived from the Arabic waral, which translates as "monitor" in English. The specific name exanthematicus is derived from two Greek words: Exanthema meaning 'eruption' and mata meaning 'idle'. French botanist and zoologist Louis Augustin Guillaume Bosc originally described this lizard as Lacerta exanthematicus in reference to the large oval scales on the back of the neck. the species is also known as Bosc's Monitor, since a French Scientist named Louis Bosc first described the species

Re: Littlefoot & Cera (New video & pictures)
so I found that hiding night crawlers in the hollow spot proves interesting.
The hollow is just big enough to hide a worm or a fuzzy mouse inside it.
