Publisher's Synopsis
The black-throated monitor (also referred to as the black-throat monitor) may be a large lizard with a typically mild temperament when kept as a pet. Black-throated monitors eat whole prey items like mice, require a particularly large enclosure, and may grow to be over 50 pounds. they're associated with the white-throated monitor and therefore the savannah monitor.These big lizards are native to Tanzania. Taxonomists have disagreed on species and subspecies, hence the various name variations. Tanzania features a tropical climate where it stays over 68 degrees year-round (except at the upper elevations).In the wilds of Tanzania, black-throated monitors are carnivores and eat small reptiles, birds, and rodents.
