White throat size compared to black throat monitor

skateboarder001 Apr 09, 2005 02:54 PM

Are the whitethroats smaller as adults than blackthroats or are they usually around the same size when full grown ?

Origin location, they are different subspecies. BTs can average 5-7ft of more, where as WTs can range from 4-6ft, and some WTs (Nambian I believe) can grow to around 7ft, also I can believe that Tanzanian WTs can also grow big like that, after all thats where most BTs come from. Cape banded WTs from the southern most part of South Africa will stay between 4-4.5ft at most (Im sure some get bigger, who knows).
