Hi,

Lovely colours and markings - now help me cure my ignorance and tell me what it actually is.:oops:


And how big do they get?

A black throat monitor, close in relation to the Savannah monitor. The babies are brilliantly colored, and fade as they age. They can grow to be 4 to 6 feet and are known for their more docile temperment (in comparison to more aggressive species like the Nile).

Very Cool.... I love how they look as babies :gj:

They can pass up 6' easily and get well over 50 pounds. Make sure you have lots of room...that tank is not going to last long ;)

There is a good picture of an adult here:

How Beautiful!!!

Dear God!!!


Are you telling me that cute little thing will grow into one of these?!?!?!

What are you going to do? Use it as a horse and ride it to work? :O

Actually that could look quite impressive if you could wield a spear at the same time - reminds me of a book jacket I saw once.:P
