Question picky Eater!?

Hello everbody,

I have a 2 month old Savannah Monitor (Yoshi). I have introduced numerous types of prey items and yoshi only selects crickets (eats 10-15 crickets). I have tried superworms, meal worms, Dubai Roaches, earthworms, pinkies (yes I know of the controvery surounding rodents), fresh chicken and quail eggs (right out of the bird, never refrigerated) both raw and boiled. Yoshi will take a taste then its rejected. Is this normal? Should I still consistantly try these items? All insects are given flukers orange cubes plus fresh greens almost daily plus different grain weekly to feed on. The terrarium is a 55 gallon for the time being while the permanent enclosure is being constructed.yoshi is very active and curious about every sound and movement that goes on in the room and always comes out and investigates and is even starting to beg to come out of the enclosure when somebody enters the room. Yoshi moves regulary between the hot spot, water dish, burrow through out the day and at night stays in the burrow. The terrarium is kept at 87 degrees through out the day with UVB, the hot spot peaking at 120 degrees. The burrow stays around 80 degrees with 90% humidity 24/7 and the rest of the enclosure stays around 55% humidity except when misted in the morning and evening and it reaches around 95% for 3-4
hours. Night temp stay around 75-80 degrees. The substrate is a sand and clay mix. I apologize for this being so long but I am a little concerned about yoshi's diet and want to make sure my husbandry is correct.
