Black Throat

[CTReptileRescue]

I took a few random shots of our heaviest monitor in the house. He averages around 30 to 35 lbs. A big puupy dog of a monitor.


He seems to be a ladies man, and normally will not puff up at me. But tends to towards Win and our volunteer Mike. Otherwise he is just a love.
Thanks
Rusty

What a beautiful animal. He reminds me of a dinosaur, and weighs the same as my dog. WOW!

WOW!! He is nice looking. How about a feeding video. How long is he? He must have a hide cage and tons of dirt to burrow in!!!

[JLC]

That is an impressive beast! Wow!

He is a big guy at an average of 5 feet long.
Yes his cage is mighty big. The wooden area you see him on top of is actually his hide, he has many o' burrows!

My very favorite lizard species. Thank you for sharing.

I held Moggie up to the screen and told her if she ate ALL her crickets, she would get that big one day. She wasn't impressed.
But then, she's a lizard.
I LOVE the picture. I wish you could get a picture of him with something for size comparison in with him. He weighs more than all FIVE of my yorkies.

LOL....he'd probably eat yorkies for breakfast, if Rusty let him!

Yorkies don't really hold any nutritional value.
It's pooodles he likes.

PS I have some shots with him and a bic pen for comparison. I'll have to find it.
