KIMBERLEY ROCK MONITOR (Varanus glauerti)

The Kimberley rock monitor (Varanus glauerti) is a semi-arboreal desert monitor lizard endemic to Australia. As their name implies, these monitors hail from the remote Kimberley Rock region of Western Australia, known for its Aboriginal rock art. Some Australians call them Kakadu sand goannas since they also live in the Kakadu region of Northern Australia.

Kimberley rock monitors are growing in prominence among reptile enthusiasts. Originally restricted to Australia, American and European reptile breeders now have multiple generations of captive-born and bred (CBB) Kimberley rock monitors. Reptile keepers love these monitors for their beautiful colors, handleable size, and sociable personalities.

Kimberley rock monitors are easier to care for compared to other popular monitors like the Asian water monitor. They are extremely intelligent, curious, and playful. They’re an attractive pet lizard to prospective reptile keepers in small homes on account of their manageable size.
