Desert Monitor Lizards

Grey Monitor lizard is another name for the Desert Monitor Lizard. It has a lengthy mouth and many sharp, powerful teeth. Both people and other animals are at risk of death from its bite. One bite can leave the victim feeling lightheaded, with aching muscles, a rapid heartbeat, and trouble breathing. Its snout measures 560 to 579 mm in length. 865 mm to 870 mm is the length of its tail. Its upper body is colored differently, ranging from gray to a yellowish brown tint. Its body is crossed by brownish crossbars. The lizard ages and loses the vibrancy of this pattern.

Animals like desert monitor lizards are reclusive. Only in the early morning hours do they go out hunting. They rest and hide out in their burrow for the remainder of the day. Since they prefer warm environments, they cannot hibernate. Their diet consists of rodents, toads, frogs, eggs, birds, snakes, and other lizards. They are omnivorous creatures. They straighten their legs and lift their bodies in an arched position when they feel threatened. They puff out their necks and hiss and snarl. Their long mouths are extended, and their tails move side to side.
