What Makes ReptiChip The Best Argus Monitor Bedding

History/Facts

Argus monitors, scientifically known as Varanus panoptes, are impressive reptiles native to northern Australia, Indonesia, and New Guinea. They are notable for their striking appearance, featuring a pattern of distinctive bands and spots along their body, which vary in coloration from yellowish-brown to reddish-brown. These monitors are robust and agile, capable of both terrestrial and climbing activities, making use of their muscular limbs and sharp claws to navigate diverse habitats ranging from tropical rainforests to savannas and rocky outcrops.

Behaviorally, Argus monitors exhibit a range of characteristics typical of monitor lizards. They are voracious predators, feeding on a variety of prey including insects, small mammals, birds, and even other reptiles. They are known for their intelligence and keen senses, using their powerful jaws and sharp teeth to capture and consume their prey efficiently. In the wild, they are solitary and territorial, marking their territories with scent glands located on their ventral sides. They are also skilled climbers, often observed scaling trees and rocks in search of food or to bask in the sun for thermoregulation. Argus monitors are oviparous, laying relatively large clutches of eggs in burrows or under vegetation, where they are incubated for several months before hatching.
