21. 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

Tweet Monitor Lizards by Aimee Amodio More from this Blogger While monitor lizards are not the best choice for beginners, they can be an intelligent and interesting pet for skilled reptile hobbyists. Monitor lizards get their genus name varanus from an Arabic word that means "monitor". These lizards have an occasional habit of standing on their two hind legs. It seems like they are monitoring their surroundings! Legend says that monitor lizards rear up to warn people that crocodiles are nearby. Across the board, monitor lizards are known for their intelligence. Rock monitors at the San Diego Zoo can distinguish numbers up to six. Nile monitors cooperate while foraging one lizard lures a crocodile away from the nest while the others raid the eggs. Komodo dragons in zoos recognize their keepers and even seem to have distinct personalities. Some monitor lizard owners have compared their pets' personalities to those of cats they are independent animals with different personalities. Monitor lizards are popular as pets. Among the most commonly kept monitor lizards are:

38. The History Of Monitor Lizards Article by Daniel Bennett about the fossil history. http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/sciences/Paleontology/Paleozoology/Fossilver

Themes Science Paleontology / Paleozoology Paleozoology ... Fossil vertebrata The History of Monitor Lizards by Daniel Bennett As the monitors spread across the Earth experiencing different habitats and climates they diversified. Over many millions of years this process has resulted in the emergence of at least seventy or eighty (probably many thousands of) species. Some of them appeared to have died out quickly, whilst other, apparently ancient, species have survived until the present. Many monitor lizards appear to have evolved comparatively recently. It would be nice to know where the monitor lizards first came from, what the early species looked like, how they behaved and why they died out. According to the available evidence monitor lizards and their close relatives the heloderms (Gila lizards) and lanthonotids (earless monitors) probably originated in northern Asia at least 90 million years ago (Pregill et al 1986). At this time the reign of the dinosaurs was coming to an end and flowers had begun to cover the Earth. The oldest monitor lizards known are from Mongolia: Telmasaurus grangeri, Saniwides mongoliensis and Estesia mongoliensis. All of them must have been quite similar to modern monitor lizards in appearance, but the latter possessed grooved teeth which probably transmitted venom in the same manner as modern-day Gila monsters (Pregill et al 1986, Norell et al 1992). The exact relationship between these lizards and the modern heloderms and varanids is not clear.

Print Monitor lizards June 22nd, 2009 9:51 pm ET The first link below is to a news article about monitor lizards.  Four smugglers were caught shipping monitor lizards, which are endangered, from India to Nepal.  The plan was to use the animals for meat and leather.  (economictimes.indiatimes.com) The third link below is to an article in today's St. Petersburg Times about Cape Coral, Florida, a town that has monitor lizards to spare.  In fact, they're trying to get rid of their feral monitor lizard population (www.tampabay.com). Now, where are those smugglers when you need them?  It is, unfortunately, not quite that simple.  In India, there are four kinds of monitor lizards, the common or Bengal, the water, the desert, and the yellow monitor lizard.  They are all endangered, at least in part due to exploitation for skin and meat. (Walkthewilderness.blogspot.com). The Cape Coral invaders are Nile monitor lizards whose ancestors came from Africa.  Although they are also hunted, it doesn't seem to be having a negative effect on their species survival (www.cababstractsplus.org).  So while hiring monitor lizard smugglers to clean up Cape Coral might solve the smugglers' problems, and keep them from trying for endangered monitor lizard species, it might not do much more than put a small dent in the Cape Coral population.

Employment Opportunities Site Search Enter a search term below: Newsletter Signup Email Address: Native Plant Spotlight Elderberry Change font size: Nile Monitor Lizards Monitor lizards, of the genus Varanus , are medium-to-large carnivorous lizards that can either be terrestrial or arboreal, depending on the species. Diversity of monitors is highest in Australia to southern Asia. The largest lizard (by girth not length) in the world is the Komodo Monitor ( Varanus komodensis ), often referred to as the Komodo dragon. Nile Monitors ( Varanus niloticus ) have been seen on Sanibel Island. They are native to Africa and can exceed six feet in length. Monitor lizards are imported regularly for the pet trade and many species are bred in captivity. Nearly half of the approximately 60 monitor species in the world are kept as pets in the United States. Many species are highly prized in the pet trade and sell for over $1,000. However, the Nile monitor is an inexpensive large monitor species that is considered expendable because of their over-availability and cheap price (about $30 retail). Another reason for their low price is their “wild” temperament, which is unlike many monitor species kept in captivity that are easily tamed and do not pose a threat to their owner. The first documented sighting (documented in a picture) of a Nile monitor on Sanibel was in the Heron’s Landing subdivision in 2005. After many failed attempts to capture this animal and having received consistent calls from Heron’s Landing residents as to its whereabouts over the past two years we believed that the lizard was “staying put.”
