It spends much of its time climbing and perching, but will also use ground space to forage, so a setup with vertical structure plus open areas tends to bring out natural routines.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis species thrives when it can move between bright, warm perches and deep cover - think cork hollows, tight crevices, and dense planting rather than being kept on display with nowhere to disappear. Like many island monitors, individuals can be wary at first; consistent enclosure structure and predictable day\/night cycles usually make the biggest difference to how confidently they utilise the space.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia UK","offers":[{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":53261077807441,"sku":"peacock-monitor - 001","price":333.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/Peacock-Monitor_2.jpg?v=1772453326","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/peacock-monitor-1-1-pair-only-copy","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
