What Makes ReptiChip The Best Asian Water Monitor Bedding

History/Facts

The Asian Water Monitor (Varanus salvator) is one of the largest lizard species in the world, with some individuals reaching lengths of up to 10 feet, though the average size is closer to 6-8 feet. Native to Southeast Asia, these reptiles are highly adaptable and can be found in a wide range of habitats, including mangroves, swamps, and riverbanks. Their semi-aquatic nature allows them to thrive near water sources, and they are excellent swimmers, using their long, muscular tails to propel themselves. In fact, they can remain submerged for extended periods to avoid predators or stalk prey. Their adaptability and ability to inhabit both urban and natural environments have made them successful survivors in rapidly changing landscapes.

Asian Water Monitors are opportunistic feeders, with a highly varied diet that includes fish, birds, eggs, small mammals, reptiles, carrion, and even garbage in urban areas. They are known for their strong jaws and sharp teeth, allowing them to tackle a wide variety of prey. These monitors are also highly intelligent, exhibiting problem-solving abilities, and have been observed using their environment to their advantage when hunting or escaping threats. In some parts of Southeast Asia, they are even seen as beneficial animals, as they help control populations of pests such as rats. Despite their size and intimidating appearance, Asian Water Monitors are generally shy around humans and will avoid confrontation unless threatened.
