That is my Australian Desert Dwarf Monitor Clyde. He is about 8 years old. He acts like a dog. He begs and makes squeaking sounds when he is excited. If I rub under his chin he falls asleep. I feed him crickets once a week, a few high protein meal worms (canned) daily, and some Madagascar roaches once a month. I got him from someone who did not know how to take care of him. He was being fed once a month with crickets. This type of animal needs to eat daily as they are so small although he about 14 inches long with the tail. For the first month he barely moved and I had to hand feed him. Now, he is a normal happy monitor. I would never buy one though. He was obviously imported and should be free in the desert plains of Australia. He could never survive in the wild now.
