Default savannah monitor lizard book - the truth about Varanus exanthematicus

The Savannah Monitor Lizard - The truth about Varanus exanthematicus

At last! A book to answer all your questions about savannah monitor lizards!

by Daniel Bennett and Ravi Thakoordyal

This is the first book written by people who have studied savannah monitors in the wild and bred them in captivity. As a result our book is very different from its competitors. The husbandry information is excellent and the insights into the animals' ecology and natural history are unique. In fact we believe that this will rapidly make all other books about savannah monitors obsolete!

Other books that are devoted to “savannah monitors” are unsatisfactory because the authors have neither benefited from seeing the animal in its natural environment nor had any experience of breeding the animals in captivity. Kept in the manner suggested by other books the lizards will, at best, survive, but they will not flourish. Without a good understanding of how the lizards behave in nature and how they should be kept in captivity, the vast majority will die long, lingering deaths at the hands of well meaning, but misinformed keepers. We hope this book will provide some reliable information on this remarkable and much maligned reptile, and give its fans some indication of its proper care in captivity. It will hopefully bridge the gap between the many well-meaning but misinformed books and magazine articles on keeping these lizards in captivity and the largely inaccessible facts about how the animal spends its natural life and how it can thrive in captivity.

We think it is one of the best guides to keeping monitor lizards in captivity ever published, and easily the best about the savannah monitor.

ISBN 0-95266329-5. 84 pages, 64 illustrations, 13 in colour. 8.5 x 5.5. inches, softbound. Printed on high quality gloss paper. £18.95 including postage.

I agree also, an amazing & sobering read into the lives (and unfortunately early deaths) of these Monitors. Anyone with even an interest in Bosc's Monitor should buy a copy!
(agree with the above, very good work Mr.Bennett!)
