| | Varanus jobiensis is a moderatly large monitor that may grow to about 4 feet TL (Total Length) or more. | | | Varanus jobiensis is an avid feeder that will accept a wide variety of prey items. | | | This monitor is also equipped with four powerful limbs with which is can dig quite effectively and the tail is roughly 1.5 times longer than the body. |

| | Australian monitors range in size from the diminutive pygmy monitor Varanus brevicauda (0.2 m in total length, 8-10 gms) to the largest living lizard in Australia, the perentie, Varanus giganteus (total length may exceed 2.0 m, mass 17 kg). | | | The highest species densities of Varanus occur in Australia, where as many as six species occur together in sympatry in the arid desert interior (Pianka 1994) and up to ten species coexist in Arnhem Land in wet northern tropical Australia (Cogger and Heatwole 1981; S. Sweet, pers. | | | Megalania teeth were over 2 cm long, curved, with the rear edge serrated for cutting and tearing the skin and flesh of its prey as these powerful predators pulled back on their bite. |

| | Water Body |
| | Varanus salvator loves the water and it is a good idea to provide this monitor with a water receptacle that is large enough for it to curl the tail around and submerge its entire body. | | | They have an affinity for water and will benefit from an approriate sized water bowl in their enclosure. | | | The only thing you may need to adjust is the size of the hide box. |

| | The Name Game |
| | Up until the middle of this century, there was considered to be a species of monitor called Varanus gouldii, commonly known as the sand monitor, that ranged across all of Australia and parts of New Guinea. | | | The species Varanus rosenbergii is usually called the heath monitor or Rosenberg's monitor. | | | The only readily identifiable feature that distinguishes it from the northern Australian argus monitor Varanus panoptes panoptes is its geographic distribution and its slightly smaller size. |

| | The basic monitor lizard body plan is similar in all species, although Varanus is a very diverse group, differing widely in size (ranging in size from less than 20cm to over 3m snout-vent length), habitat preference (aquatic to arboreal), and diet (carnivorous to frugivorous). | | | Previous hypotheses of Varanus species relationships have been contradictory, unconvincing, and unrepeatable, due primarily to the nature of the evidence and methods employed. | | | Monitor lizard phylogeny has been reconstructed from several sources of evidence ( 1-9), but few hypothesized species relationships are corroborated, and the history of the group remains unclear. |

| | The Reptipage: Komodo Dragons _Varanus komodoensis_ |
| | If the animal had the good fortune of escaping the monitor, it still would not be out of the clear. | | | Varanus komodoensis 's drool is highly septic and any creature that gets a bite from a Komodo monitor, even if lucky enough to escape, soon falls victim to the septic drool laced with at least 4 virulent bacteria and a possible anticoagulant. | | | If the victim doesn't die from shock or blood loss, then the infection will do the trick. |
