I have a baby Asian Water Monitor and he cherps like an Aligator hatchling I was woundering if this is normal and if it is because he feels theartened.

I have never personally heard or heard of (or read of) any monitor making any vocalizations other than hissing. Are you sure it's NOT a baby crocodilian? 
If this is for real then you should definitely take your lizard to a qualified herp vet and have it checked for RI. Billy

Hi Danothemano!
Long time no talk too!! YES, there are some very valid report and a long paper on V. salvator vocalization, and a few scarce reports on V. niloticus too - You're not hearing things!
Cheers, Happy Holidays Danothemano,

Does he only make it when you squeeze him real tight J/K
Anyways Yeah they can make a few noises. I wouldn't be alarmed unless it is sneezing, or coughing from resp..
