Description: Komodo monitors are the largest of the living
lizards. The largest confirmed specimen measured 10 ft. 2 in.
and weighed 350 lbs. Typically males grow to 7-9 feet and weigh
approximately 200 lbs. or more, while females attain a length
of 6-8 feet.
Young monitors can be colorful, with hues of yellow, green and
white banding, and dots on a dark background. As they become older,
much of the coloration changes to dull black, grey or green. Young
are slender and have longer tails, while adults are much heavier,
with the tail making up approximately half of their total body
length.
