My Giant Water Monitor Lizards Don't Bite

These fascinating reptiles are the second-largest species of monitor lizard in the world, growing up to 8 feet long and weighing over 100 pounds! They are known for their sleek black and yellow-brown scales and long, muscular tails.

Water Monitors are found throughout Southeast Asia and are excellent swimmers, able to hold their breath for up to 30 minutes while hunting for fish, crabs, and other aquatic prey. They are also skilled climbers and can often be found basking on tree branches or rocks.

Despite their impressive size and predatory nature, Water Monitors are often kept as pets by reptile enthusiasts. However, it's important to remember that they require specialized care and a lot of space to thrive.
