Brown Rough Neck Monitor for Sale

Dumeril's monitors (Varanus dumerilii) are found in South East Asia and some Indonesian Islands. These lizards are usually found near swamps and are excellent climbers. As hatchlings, they are very colorful with bright orange heads and yellow patterns traversing their black bodies. The hatchlings also have a vertical mouth band. As they mature, the colors fade to shades of olive, and the black changes to olive-brown.  Dumeril's can live 15-20 years in captivity.

Feeding Your Dumeril's Monitor

Dumeril's Monitor can be fed rodents, horsemeat, dog food and fish, as well as a vitamin supplement.

Caging Requirements for Your Dumeril's Monitor

Housing/Habitat: Hatchlings can be kept in 20-40 gal long aquariums for the first 4-6 months, after this they will require larger set-ups. Mixed soil (topsoil, potting mix, sand) topped with dry leaves and/or sphagnum moss (green moss) should be used for substrate. Substrates must be kept moist/damp. A Rubbermaid tub or box, with a hole in the lid or side of the box, which contains mud and moss, should be added for additional moisture.

Housing for sub-adults should not be open topped (no aquariums) and should have ample room for digging, 12-18 inches. 2 ft deep by 6ft long by at least 3 ft tall is a good size enclosure for housing sub-adult Dumeril's. Provide a water dish that is large enough for them to submerge their entire body.

Adults require at least 4ft by 8ft of floor space and will appreciate and use as much height as possible. Adding wood lattice to the sides of your enclosures (any size) will greatly increase the usable space for your monitor(s). Dumeril's love to climb and dig so make sure you provide ample opportunities for them to do both.

Temperature: Dumeril's will bask at very high temps, well over 100 degrees F. Dumeril's require high basking temps (90 to 130 degrees F) and warm ambient temps (70 to 90 degrees F). Allow temperatures in our enclosures to drop about 10 degrees F at night, never below 65 F.

Humidity: Try keeping humidity levels between 50-70% at all times, as these monitors will dry out quickly.
