Monitor Lizard Strike Video WARNING: This video contains extremely graphic content. Viewer discretion is advised. Monitor Lizard Strike Monitor lizards can be very dangerous and aggressive. The family of monitor lizards includes the largest lizard in the world, the Komodo dragon. There are upwards of 30 species in the family ranging in size from 6 inches to 12 feet. Many monitor species are commonly sold in the pet trade, such as Savannah monitors and Nile monitors. While they often will tolerate handling by humans, many do not. These are carnivorous animals which eat just about anything... eggs, small birds, mammals, and even other monitor lizards. Monitor lizards are not poisonous, however some species possess toxins in their saliva which can lead to rapid infections and septic conditions. While it is unlikely that a smaller pet monitor lizard could kill a human, their bite can lead to prolonged problems if not treated and kept clean. If you want to keep a monitor lizard as pet, use care and caution. They have an extraordinary olfactory sense and the slightest smell of food or blood can send a monitor into a small frenzy. Females who have very large monitors should avoid contact with them when menstruating to avoid bites and stress on the lizard. Always take care to wash your hands after handling food items or prey as monitors can pick up on the faintest of odors quite easily. As an example, some researchers believe that Komodo dragons can smell prey over a mile away.

105. White-throated Monitors I ll be moving from Cleveland, Ohio to Phoenix, AZ in a few months and because of the move I m getting out of the reptile business at least for now. http://users.adelphia.net/~zupich/

I'm out of the reptile hobby at least for now. The only adult pair I had left have been placed at Pro Exotics . The guys at Pro Exotics have an incredible shop, and they have always been great guys as well. The pair they have are an incredible looking male produced by Frank Retes in 1999, and the best looking female I had ever produced . It's very sad to see the animals go, but I know they will produce animals from that pair soon. Hatchlings UPDATE Photo Index Feeding Varanus albigularis ...

Sweet Eric R. Pianka Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. A small lizard, caught in the open, flushes ahead of a pursuing monitor. The prey, desperately seeking escape, begins to run a winding course. The tactic could throw a predator off, but the monitor doesn't bite. Rather than engage in a tail chase, the monitor heads straight for a pile of rocksthe only nearby feature to which the hunted animal could possibly escape. The smaller lizard, outsmarted, arrives at the refuge too late. Such a display of intelligence in monitor lizards, the animals of the family Varanidae, is not unusual. As a rule, monitors do not have to chase their prey very far, and in many cases they seem to anticipate some gambit by their prey. When arboreal lizards are being hunted and run for a tree, they usually spiral around to the back side to ascend; one of us (Sweet) has watched pursuing monitors of two species (Varanus tristis and V. glauerti), on at least three occasions, spiral around the tree in the opposite direction to catch the prey unawares. (Experienced human lizard-catchers do the same thing.)
