Monitor id

[hornet]

Dad just showed me pics of this young monitor he rescued. From gladstone and was about 20cm long, i'm thinking a semiremex but tristis are also found in the area.

 

[Australis]

Its not a Rusty Goanna atleast, that im very sure of.

 

[hornet]

ok well that pretty much puts it down to a tristis

 

[richardsc]

doesnt look tristis to me,looks like a spotted tree

 

[albino]

Varanus tristis orientalis

 

[geckodan]

tristis orientalis. They are quite "scalaris -like" in that area Richard. Small, heavily patterned - real orientalis IMO

i was thinking scalaris at first but they dont exist in the gladstone area as far as i know. Thanks for that danny and albino

HI all,

Danny is correct Tristis "orientalis"

Cheers,
Scott

Yep Tristis,it still has its baby pattern and colour

 

[richardsc]

ok nice looking freckled then,its tail looks short in the pic and its neck body tail didnt have the long looking appearance of a tristis but i stand corrected,i cant think where gladstone is im guessing south of scalaris range though

 

[hornet]

yup, about 500km north of bris, i think its still a few hundred km north untill you find scalaris
