Kimberley rock monitor

Kimberley rock monitor (Varanus glauerti) is slowly becoming more widely available in the United States. They are easier to find in Australia and the UK, but American reptile breeders are working on new generations of captive-bred Kimberley rock monitors. At the time of writing, Kimberley rock monitors are harder to obtain outside of specialty reptile breeding websites and major reptile expos. Given their rarer availability, Kimberley rock monitors are more expensive than more readily available dwarf monitors such as Ackies.

The Kimberley rock monitor is a rock-dwelling dwarf monitor endemic to northern Australia. This semi-arboreal desert varanid has a penchant for hanging upside down and curiously exploring its surroundings. With a long elegant neck, beautiful diamond patterns and color variations, flat snout, and the capability to flatten themselves to fit into narrow rock crevices, your Kimberley rock monitor will bring you years of joy and fascinating behaviors to observe.
