Varanus exanthematicus, commonly known as the savannah monitor, is a medium sized monitor native to the African grasslands. Growing to only 4.5 feet in length, this is the perfect monitor for someone who thinks an ackie is too small, but knows a black throat can be too big.
Like many monitors, these animals are extremely intelligent, and have been known to memorize schedules and form deep bonds with their keepers.
