They are native to where I live in Southeast Asia. Bengal Monitors, this subspecies is a Clouded Monitor, are actually primarily terrestrial and spend a great deal of time foraging on the ground, but are very good climbers and can often be found in the trees.
Here is a somewhat blurry picture taken last month in the primary rainforest of Khao Yai National Park in the Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Kingdom of Thailand.

Varanus bengalensis=(E) Bengal Monitor (G) Bengalwaran
Varanus bengalensis bengalensis=(E) Bengal Monitor (G) Bengalwaran
Varanus bengalensis nebulosus=(E) Clouded/Nebulous Monitor (G) Nebelwaran
Sorry for the scientific names, but common names cause confusion with some species being called by the same name and multiple names given for a single species, i.e. mine are called Bengal, Clouded or Nebulous Monitors.
