The detail
Dumeril's monitor is a Southeast Asian forest monitor; hatchlings have striking orange-banded heads that fade to brown with age. It is shyer and less often captive-bred than most monitors, and imports can arrive stressed.
- Housing
- 8×4×4 ft, humid, with a water area
What to weigh
A large, humid enclosure and a varied diet are required, and shy imports can be slow to settle. Hatchling colour fades as it grows.
