and back on topic as opposed to spamming up the forum...
Question:
Is there any size differences between the R. leachianus locales?

I guess it depends on the Locales, not sure sorry.

I guess if we are getting back on topic, then can someone please tell what the smallest monitor is?

maybe Varanus brevicauda? I'm not sure. Ackies are one of the smallest available monitors.
 
Adam is correct Brevicauda is the smallest and so is everyone else that said it! ha ha ha ha ha
 
Those things only get 12", I didn't know there was a monitor that small. Hay what do you do when your monitors gets to huge for it tanks?
 
You know this just came me. Okay hear I go, we all know that the Komodo, is a species of monitor, and we all know that the Komodo has extremly high bactiria in its salyvia... so basically, my question is, how do you guys survive? If you get biten by a komodo, your basicaly dead because of the toxic bactiria. So what I am get to is if you get bitten by your pet monitor, won't you have to like get rushed to the hospital? :confused:

Tsk...tsk...tsk


Komodos have the adaptation of the bacteria in their mouths. Other Varanid species do nothave the said bacteria. If I am correct, Komodos have, I think 50 or so strains of bacteria in their mouths, and only i believe 4 or 5 of them are lethal.
