I get the feeling monitors are more similar to those types of birds, in behavior, then they are to colubrid snakes or even many other lizard families.

They flock, they pair, they nest. I think they are a bit more primitive, but similar.

Its more apparent in the larger species, and all monitors need large cages to exhibit their real behaviors. The standard, small cage syndrome, used with most reptiles severely limits varanid behavior. Cheers
