Male Blue Tree Monitor CF Adult

Varanus macraei, also known as the Blue Tree Monitor, is a stunning species of monitor lizard native to the island of Batanta in Indonesia. These tree-dwelling reptiles are famous for their bright blue and black colors, attracting many reptile fans. In captivity, they require a tall enclosure with plenty of branches for climbing and basking opportunities to mimic their natural habitat.

Varanus macraei should be kept in a tall enclosure with plenty of climbing structures and hiding places. It is important to provide a basking area with UVB lighting to help regulate their metabolism and overall health. Blackpool Reptiles have a range of reptile set-up kits and housing for your monitor lizard.

These monitor lizards are carnivorous and should be fed a diet consisting of insects, small rodents, and occasionally small birds. Offering different foods is essential to give them all the nutrients they need for good health and well-being. Additionally, it is recommended to dust their food with calcium and vitamin supplements to prevent any deficiencies.

While some monitor lizards can become tame with regular handling, it is important to approach them with caution as they can be defensive or aggressive. It is recommended to allow them time to acclimate to their new environment before attempting to handle them and always support their body properly to avoid causing stress or injury. This lizard is generally okay with handling, but be cautious and handle it gently to avoid stressing your pet.
