Brief Care Notes:   The peach throat monitor is native to New Guinea and some of the smaller islands nearby. This species of Varanus is terrestrial but does spend a lot of its time in trees along riverbanks. Peach throats are not known to be very tame but with proper care and handling methods its can be achieved. When setting up an enclosure make sure to give plenty of climbing options and hiding spots to make your peach throat feel more comfortable.

Brief Care Notes:   The yellow monitor is a medium sized monitor growing to be about 4 feet. This species is primarily terrestrial due to the fact that it has shorter toes making it more difficult to climb. They are a bit shy and tend to flee rather than bite for the most part.

Brief Care Notes: The mangrove monitor is primarily found in warm, humid areas in the trees along rivers and streams. In captivity the enclosure should resemble its natural habitat with lots of branches, high humidity and a large water dish for swimming and soaking.
