Welcome
to SC Reptiles - Tree Monitor Lizards, this site is dedicated to the captive care and breeding of
Blue Tree Monitor Lizards. Currently I have a single proven pair of
these colourful animals.
The Blue Tree Monitor
Lizard (Varanus Macraei)
is a fairly
small monitor lizard
reaching lengths of 100cm nose to tail. They are arboreal (tree
dwellers) and as their name indicates, they have a stunning blue
colouration; I do not know why these tree dwellers are coloured blue and
cannot understand how this acts as camouflage. These incredible
animals were only discovered scientifically in 2001 on their native
islands in West Irian (Indonesia) and are not often seen in the pet trade.
This is a shame as they make excellent pets, being small, very active and
intelligent.
My pair spend much of the
day hunting for the many locusts they share their vivarium
with,
they use the whole the available space, and as such I have provided them
with a
large vivarium both in
width and height. Their other favourite food items
are pinky mice
and chickens eggs.
Other animals in my collection are dogs, newts, frogs, toads,
tortoises
and a stunning collection of Royal Python Morphs,
Leopard
Gecko Morphs
and
Iguanas. I am very
proud of my collection and place every effort in the care and welfare of
all the animals.
I
hope you enjoy this web site. It was created entirely by myself and will
be regularly updated so please keep revisiting.
