Home Tour Site Map News ... Calendar Monitor Lizards Nile Monitor Lizards SWAHILI NAME: Kenge PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Monitors belong to the family Varanidae . Some are small reptiles of less than a foot in length, while the Komodo dragon, the largest living lizard, grows to 364 lb. All monitors are tropical reptiles. They are active lizards, that may be very hostile, lashing out with their tails upon the slightest provocation. Even a small monitor can produce a stinging lash with its tail. The claws of monitors are long and sharp. The jaws are very strong. Once they bite something it is very difficult to get them to let go. Monitors are carnivorous and will devour anything they are capable of dismembering and gulping down. Species which live in or near water will readily eat fish. Monitors do not divest themselves of their tails, like some other lizards. Once lost, the tail of a monitor does not grow back. The Savanna monitor, Varanus exanthematicus, is also known as the Cape monitor. It grows to 5 feet. Its body is olive brown, mostly unmarked. A few have cross bands on the body; pale spots ringed in dark brown to black forming the cross bands. They are found in western and central Africa in open forest and rocky savannas, in hot, arid areas. They bask frequently and are agile both on land and in water.

6. Guidelines Monitors Document for keeping monitor lizards; provided by the American Federation of Herpetoculturists. http://www.iosphere.net/~ajs/Monitor.htm

AFH Guidelines For The Keeping Of MONITOR LIZARDS This document is provided, free of charge, by the AFH. It can be freely distibuted in printed or electronic form, but must have all text intact and credit given to the AFH. The AFH has also developed guidelines for large constrictors and keeping large boid snakes in schools. These guidelines have been used, in conjunction with our legislative handbook, to favorably influence municipal, county, and state legislation. The AFH also publishes THE VIVARIUM, the acclaimed journal on the captive breeding of amphibians and reptiles. Introduction The following statement was drafted in response to the increasing number of proposals in part sponsored by anti exotic pet groups to restrict the rights of herpetoculturists to practice their avocation. A current trend among local animal control agencies has been to use arguments referring to "potential danger", or the biased arguments of organizations such as the Humane Society of America (HSA) (in their model regulations, HSA essentially states their opposition to the keeping of reptiles by the private sector), to attempt to implement a ban on the ownership of various reptiles. Large pythons, boas and monitor lizards have increasingly become the target of these regulatory proposals. Bias against the keeping of reptiles as pets What are the real potential dangers presented by monitor lizards?

Home Tour Site Map News ... Calendar Savannah Monitor Lizards Scientific name: Varanus exanthematicus Family: Varanidae Order: Squamata Class: Reptilia PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: DISTRIBUTION and HABITAT: The natural habitat of Varanus exanthematicus is, as its common name reveals, the African Savannah. The Savannah Monitor has been able to flourish throughout this region due to the coloration of its skin, which provides a camouflage among the similarly colored Savannah’s grasses. Although no consensus exists upon the exact distribution of the Savannah Monitor, Senegal, Eritrea, Northern Zaire, Ghana, and Togo have all been mentioned as places where it can be found in the wild. The distribution of this Monitor demonstrates some of its capabilities of adaptation, however, it has not yet successfully adapted to either rainforests or deserts. The adults usually live on the ground. The juveniles usually seek shelter in trees or burrows of other animals, to avoid predation. BEHAVIOR: The Savannah Monitor is diurnal and is most active in warm sunshine. During periods of drought or cool weather, it becomes dormant. For this reason, its feeding pattern is that of feast and famine. During the typical eight month wet season of the Savannah, when food is most plentiful, the Monitor will consume an enormous amount of food which will create the fat reserves necessary to sustain life during the dry season. It is estimated that in a typical wet season day, Varanus exanthematicus can consume one tenth of its body weight. The males tend to be highly territorial. Before striking at other males, they display their aggression by making a loud hissing sound and trashing their tail. However, the Savannah Monitor is a shy animal and will avoid areas populated by humans. Occasionally, when this Monitor encounters a human it will play dead in an attempt to avoid capture.

17. The Monitor FAQ--Foreword General information on keeping monitor lizards. http://www.kingsnake.com/monitorfaq/

FOREWORD INTRODUCTION PURCHASING HOUSING ... MISCELLANEOUS Foreword Monitor lizards, in my opinion, make for some of the very best reptilian captives. Highly intelligent, active, inquisitive, and beautifully colored these lizards can be a joy to keep. However, they do require large cages, frequent cage and water cleanings, and lots of food. If you are looking for a pet I advise you to look elsewhere, perhaps leopard geckos or bearded dragons would suit your needs better. But, if you are looking for an interesting captive that you can sit back and watch for hours then please read the rest of this FAQ and do as much research on the species your are interested in before purchasing it. I also highly recommend that you visit The Monitor Forum as it is an invaluable learning tool. Before asking questions on the forum please SEARCH THE ARCHIVES as a lot of information has already been discussed and you may not get an answer because of this. Then if you still are unclear or have specific questions go ahead and ask them. Don't take anything personally and look at the information through objective eyes. I would like to thank Adam Britton, the Author of

Melissa Kaplan's Herp Care Collection Last updated November 8, 2002 Monitor Lizards Varanus sp. A brief species overview for the prospective first-time monitor buyer... This is one of the earliest reptile articles I wrote and, like most of my articles then and later, was in response to the too many people who had decided that they wanted something "cooler", more impressive (i.e., bigger, scarier to others, less frequently seen in the pet trade) lizards. Most of the individuals seeking "cooler" lizards seemed to want something bigger than green iguanas and less common (and bigger) than savanna monitors. Thus there were all sorts of people who had never owned a lizard before, rushing out and buying Nile and water monitors without regard for the fact that they knew little to nothing about them other than their common name. Since the following is from a message board post (Prodigy, AOL, rec.pets.herp) it is a bit less structured than my more formal articles. To start out, you might want to stay away from the "giant" monitors, especially the Nile (
