Often referred to as the Kimberley Rock Monitor, it belongs to the Odatria group of smaller monitor species adapted to rocky environments. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"1991\"\u003eThis species has a narrow head, long limbs and a very long tail that can account for much of its overall length. The body is typically reddish-brown to dark brown with lighter ocelli or spotting across the back, while the tail often shows strong banding. These patterns provide effective camouflage against the cliffs and boulder fields where the species naturally occurs. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1993\" data-end=\"2396\"\u003eIn the wild, Kimberley Rock Monitors spend much of their time navigating vertical rock faces and narrow crevices. Their body shape allows them to wedge into tight cracks for shelter and protection, and they are agile climbers that move easily across uneven surfaces. Their diet consists mainly of insects and other small prey, including spiders and small lizards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia","offers":[{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":52872265007441,"sku":"kimberley-rock-monitor-unsexed","price":499.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/Varanus-glauerti.jpg?v=1787753477","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/kimberley-rock-monitor","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
