varanus yuwonoi

She decided to jump out of the cage today so I decided she could use a little swim time so I could check her out health wise.




I noticed that she builds dens. Not tunnels but will hollow out an area under logs or rocks and launches out in a full out ambush attack. She waits till perfect timing and has launched out of hiding and up my arm twice LOL.

Re: varanus yuwonoi

Really wish my camera would capture the neon blue and dark green more. This lizard is bright in person

Re: varanus yuwonoi

For about 3 months I guess. Probably the best looking monitor-color wise that I have seen. Feet and tail glow in light blue and the neck is a dark green. It puts tree monitors to shame, I just don't have a good enough camera to catch it all.

Re: varanus yuwonoi

Call me jealous.

May I make a suggestion? Turn off the flash and use bright ambient light. It helps with bringing out color.

you probably never will mate.

if you can take pictures in direct sunlight do so theyll be the best ones.

varanid colours are extra-ordinarily hard to capture on camera alwas end up washed out.

Re: varanus yuwonoi

I would love to see the colors on a full grown adult... to bad the zoo's near me all have snakes no monitors, well now that I think of it the Knoxville zoo has some beaded lizards but that is the extent of it.
