S.I. Mangrove monitors

CrazyCorn Oct 19, 2003 11:40 AM

I been reading up on getting a smaller species of monitor and I read that mangroves stay small but then others say they get large? two sheets said they stay around 50-100cm and then two others say they get 100-200 cm? I am very intrested in the solomin island mangrove monitor and a local breeder has some but I havent been able to get in touch with, Thanks for any info and/or help! Dave

Here is a quote from:

Daniel Bennet is a very good source.

"The mangrove monitor attains different sizes in different parts of its range. Swanson's (1976) claim that they reach 200cm TL is probably an overestimate. Schmida (1985) claims they reach 150cm TL and Cogger (1981) gives a total length of 100cm for Australian specimens. In the Solomon islands they average 50cm SVL (125cm TL). "
