The Perentie (Varanus giganteus)is Australia's largest monitor, attaining a length of up to 8 feet. It is found in central & Western Australia and feeds on lizards, snakes, birds and various mammmals, including small kangaroos. Please have a look at the rest of my gallery and feel free to make comments. Regards, Frilly.

Thanks for both your comments. I've really enjoyed putting my "Australiana" gallery together. Wish this WAS my animal but it was taken some years ago, through glass, at the Adelaide Zoo. Regards, Frilly

I'm not sure if they can be kept in the USA or if they are even available. In Australia (where I live) they generally require a specialist permit to be kept by amateur herpetologists. Perhaps someone else in the USA can post a comment for you, with that info. Regards, Frilly.
