We just got a fantastic Crocodile Monitor here at Amazing Pets! This is one of the planets largest lizards topping out at record lengths of around twelve feet. Although the very closely related Komodo Dragon is considered the largest of the lizards by weight, the Crocodile Monitor may perhaps be the longest (even though up to three quarters of the length can be the tail!). This black lizard which is spotted with gold specks hails from the jungles of New Guinea where they are very difficult to even spot. They are diurnal and arborial in nature spending most of their time in the thick jungle high up in the trees where they hunt mainly birds and mammals. One of the most impressive characteristics of this monitor are their incredibly large and razor sharp teeth. They are well known to produce one of the most severe bites of any reptile in the world! Their teeth are angled backwards and can best be described like the teeth of a T-Rex. Come and see our four foot long Crocodile Monitor on display at Amazing Pets!
