i just found this i think its the only wild footage of boscs allso i cant help notice that there is quite a few up trees so perhaps you boscs like komodos take refuge up trees so the dont get eaten ,so maybe a set up with alot of things to climb like branches and bark would baby boscs being so skittish
just a thought
its bad quality pictures

Interesting footage, i wonder how many they caught get sold on in the pet trade

yes it is pretty much all of them, some are captive farmed (take eggs from wild) but majority are wild caught.

Some herp shops claim that there boscs are CB, i would always ask for proof if u want CB Boscs.

Thats a great video tho, shows how slender they are compared to in captivity:!:
