Monitor Lizards in Captivity
Reprinted from the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society Newsletter, Vol.16, No.3, March 2001.
Based on a presentation by Luke Campbell at their February meeting. General info: Very active, high metabolism, very intelligent. Breeding: In the last ten years great leaps have been made in the captive reproduction of monitors. Buzzwords: Keep them hot and feed them a lot. Why are monitors different from other lizards? They are very active. Most reptiles cannot run and breathe at the same time, because they share the same muscles for running and breathing. Monitors have developed a highly muscular area of the throat allowing them to breathe while running. Their lungs are subdivided, greatly increasing the surface area, allowing a greater intake of oxygen from the air they breathe. Cardiovascular: Most lizards have a three chambered heart. Monitors have a modified three chambered heart that makes them very similar to mammal's and bird's four chamber hearts. This gives them the advantage of getting oxygen rich blood to their body more efficiently. Thermoregulation: Building a proper burrow: Burrows are for security. Monitors like a nice tight space, where they can feel the space on both top and bottom. Thermoregulation of burrow. This is where they can escape from extremes in temperature. This is where they can hide from hot days, or warm up through cool periods. Burrows are also typically humid. When a monitor sleeps in a water dish it is a sign that their burrow may be too dry.

Ora (Komodo Island Monitor or Komodo Dragon)
Varanus komodoensis Threats
Hunting, poisoning, reduction of prey species , human encroachment
STATUS:
ESA ENDANGERED
IUCN
VULNERABLE SIZE:
Length:
Up to 10 feet (3 m)
Weight:
Up to 300 pounds (135 kg) HABITAT:
Dry savanna , woodland thickets, forest fringes CURRENT RANGE: Komodo Island, western Flores Island, and nearby islands in Indonesia CONSERVATION: CITES trade restrictions; although not in immediate danger of extinction , the small range of oras indicates that some management is required
  • Oras caught in the wild don't survive well in captivity. They don't reproduce readily, and often die from infections and parasitic diseases. But some hatchlings born in zoos (including one born in 1992 at the National Zoo in Washington, DC) have done well.
  • Young oras live in trees, feeding on insects, until they're about a year old and three feet long. Then they move permanently to the ground. This strategy helps preserve the species; small oras on the ground are sometimes preyed on by adults.
  • The ora's yellow tongue and repulsive mouth odor may have been the inspiration for legends of fire-breathing dragons.

    DRAGONS IN THE DUST: THE PALEOBIOLOGY OF THE GIANT MONITOR LIZARD
    RALPH E. MOLNAR
    INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS, April 2004, HB
    Availability: Few Price:
    Booksellers Discount Code: Backlist The story of Australia's ice-age reptiles, and how scientists have reconstructed the way these animals lived and what factors encouraged their evolution.
    About the Author(s) Ralph E. Molnar was for many years Section Leader for Vertebrate and Invertebrate Palaeontology and Geology and Senior Curator of Vertebrate Palaeontology at Queensland Museum in Australia. Now retired, he lives in Flagstaff, Arizona. Detailed Description Just 50,000 years ago the world was filled with fabulous creatures that are now forever gone. Australia's giant lizard, Megalania, was one of those. These frightful beasts could reach 19 feet in length and weigh as much as a polar bear. On their home turf they were top dog, and it was the rare animal that dared to challenge them. Dragons in the Dust tells the story of these amazing lizards and the world in which they lived. The book explores the Pleistocene, the time of the ice ages. While mammals ruled elsewhere, in Australia reptiles held their dominance. Large monitor lizards survive to this day, but the discovery of fossil remains of Megalania revealed that their ancestors were true giants and formidable predators. How scientists have reconstructed the way these animals lived and what factors encouraged their evolution make up part of the story. What caused their extinction remains a mystery, and one that makes an intriguing conclusion to this portrait of a true dragon of the past.

    What is a Monitor Lizard? A monitor lizard is a family of lizards that range in size from half a foot long (15cm) ranging all the way to the largest known lizard, the Komodo dragon, which can weigh up to 364 pounds (165 kilograms). All monitors are tropical reptiles and many of these reptiles are very hostile. They all have very long claws and a tail which can be used to lash out at the smallest sign of aggression. Don't be fooled by their size, since a lash from even the smallest Monitor can leave a serious welt. Unlike many lizards, the monitor lizard cannot grow its tail back if it is lost. Along with these natural defenses, the monitor uses poise to frighten off its predators. Standing alert with their heads to the sky, the monitor will often puff out their throats and whip their tail, putting on a fearsome display. Their ribs may expand slightly as they hiss making this lizard actually appear larger than it really is. The moitor's diet consists of anything it can get its claws on. A carnivore, this lizard will eat almost anything that it can fit in its mouth, from fish, beetles, whip scorpions, crocodile and birds, to eggs, crabs, other lizards, snakes, nestling birds, and squirrels. To reproduce, monitors often lay from 7-35 soft-shelled eggs in a hole dug near a riverbank or grove of trees along the water. The eggs incubate there for about 8-10 weeks before the young use a sharp egg tooth to break out of the leathery shells.

    Monitor (lizard)
    Encyclopedia Article Multimedia 1 item Monitor (lizard) , or goannas, common name for a genus of lizards that includes the largest living lizard, the Komodo dragon. Monitors live in tropical and desert areas throughout Africa, in Asia from Arabia through southern China and Malaysia, and in the East Indies and Australia. There are about 30 species in the genus, ranging from 20 cm to more than 3 m (8 in to 10 ft) long. They are characterized by a long, forked, snakelike tongue, and are able to engulf and swallow large prey whole. They are sleek, fast runners with tapered heads, long necks, strong legs, and long, powerful tails. Monitors feed on insects, birds, reptiles and their eggs, small mammals, and carrion. Monitors are among the oldest living lizards. They are related to the

    More Information Reptile Guide Main Varanus niloticus There are two variations of Nile Monitors in the wild. They are the V. niloticus (Nile Monitor), and V. niloticus ornatus (Ornate Nile Monitor). The Nile Monitor has five torso bands, while the Ornate Nile has seven. The Ornate Monitor tends to have a brighter coloration, and be smaller than the Nile Monitor. The Ornate Nile Monitor is restricted to the southernmost sections of its wild distribution. In captive specimens, an albino form has been developed, although these are rare and costly. Captive and wild specimens have an approximate life span of 15 years. The Nile Monitor resembles and has similar habits as the Water Monitor ( V. salvator ) from Asia, and the Mangrove Monitor ( V. indicus ) from the mangrove swamps in India and other eastern coastal Mangrove swamps. Nile Monitors are not for beginner herp owners. They normally have an aggressive temperament that does not tame down. Although each animal is different, most will carry a nasty disposition all of their life. Niles can inflict serious wounds to an inexperienced handler. Niles grow excessively large and have specialized requirements. They should be left to the experienced hobbyist that can provide proper care and handling. Small Niles can be kept in a small terrarium, although adults and sub-adults will need custom housing that provides a water area large enough for swimming and deep enough for full submersion of the animal. Small animals can be kept on aspen, vermiculite, lizard litters, and aquarium gravel and water combinations. They will dig though. Make sure that the substrate, regardless of its type, can be changed easily and that in between changes, feces can be removed.

    Wow! These lizards have sharp teeth! (Crocodile Monitor)
    Many of our viewers are not aware of this; but the Tigerhomes Sanctuary houses numerous species of wildlife not on camera. Among this group of animals is the rare and recently described Crocodile Monitor Another interesting fact concerning this species is its incredibly long tail. The tail of Crocodile Monitor typically compromises two thirds of their entire length. This is not only a fantastic evolutionary physical adaptation to living a life high in the tree canopy (great for counterbalance), but it also makes a formidable weapon. Our group of 2:3 animals (Two Males and Three Females) routinely tries whipping me with their tails. They seem to aim for my eyes with remarkable accuracy. Lucky for me I have only been hit in the chest. Trust me, still not a pleasurable experience, leaving some intense bruises welts. Due to the fact that there is very little information on these elusive animals in the wild, there is equally less information on their captive husbandry requirements. With even less information existing on captive breeding. In fact, to the best of my knowledge there have been less then five documented cases of successful hatching of captive-bred Crocodile Monitor eggs in the United States. For this reason we have contacted a fellow Zookeeper in Indonesia for his advice.

    General characteristics
    The Yellow Monitor has a snout-vent length 500-515 mm, tail 575-600 mm. The dorsum reddish brown, body and tail barred with alternating dark-edged reddish brown and dirty yellow bars, ventrum light yellow. Biology: Breeding activity is observed from April to June; 15-30 eggs are laid in burrows. There is no evidence that they lay eggs in termite mounds. Theobald (1868 in Riley et al 1985) must be referring to the Bengal monitor when he claims that monitor lizards oviposit in termitaria in Burma. Eggs are probably deposited in burrows in elevated areas to avoid the possibility of nest flooding (Das, pers. comm.). In India hatchlings appear in March. Equal numbers of males and females have been reported, but males appear to be more active during the mating season.

Making my way down a trail through rosemary scrub in Florida's central sandhills, I surprised a six-lined racerunner (Cnemidophorus sexlineatus, so named for the lines that run the length of its body) basking in a wheel rut. I gave chase and the lizard streaked offeasily keeping ahead of my stumbling run. For thirty yards the lizard churned through loose sand, before managing a darting escape under a shady bush. The sprint was impressive, particularly for a lizard less than a foot long, but what was even more amazing was that the lizard had to make its dash without taking a breath. The racerunner's mechanical systems for breathing and running are linked in such a way that the lizard can do one or the other, but not both.
