Varanoid Lizards of the World by by Eric R. Pianka and Dennis R. King is proberly the best book you can buy at a reasonalble price.

If you are feelin a bit flush you could always splash out on Monitor Lizards: Natural History, Biology & Husbandry by Daniel Bennett.

Hi,

There are quite a few books dealing with Monitors that are worth a look.

One of the best and up-to-date of the in-print books available is 'Monitor Lizards: Natural History, Captive Care & Breeding' by Bernd Eidenmüller priced at £28.99.

Rod Steels 'Living Dragons: A Natural History of the World's Monitor Lizards' is also worth a look and is occasionally available.

With regards to Daniel Bennett's 'Monitor Lizards: Natural History, Biology and Husbandry' (now sadly out-of-print), there are two editions available, the first one 'A little Book of Monitor Lizards' which is still to be found at around the £30.00 mark is smaller and is the forerunner of the bigger book which you should still be able to pick up for about £75.00.

I have the first two mentioned in stock but do not have a copy of 'Monitor Lizards: Natural History, Biology and Husbandry' available at present.

Please let me know if you require any additional information.
