Behaviour & Compatibility

House alone. A powerful lizard requiring experienced handling and considerable space.

Feeding & Nutrition

Provide a balanced, varied omnivorous diet with suitable whole prey, invertebrates and plant foods; proportions change with age. Plain muscle meat is not a complete staple. Ask the reptile team for the animal’s established juvenile diet and a planned adult feeding schedule, including calcium and vitamins. Supply a large bowl of clean water.

Routine Care

Check temperatures, humidity, appetite and behaviour daily. Replace drinking water and remove waste promptly. Clean bowls and contaminated furnishings regularly; monitor weight and shedding. Arrange advice from an exotics vet for persistent changes in appetite, breathing or movement.

Important Before Buying

Confirm the supplied animal’s current size and feeding routine, and have its enclosure ready before collection.

Live Animals Are Click & Collect Only
