Animal #: 672022
Species: Mangrove Monitor
S*x: Female
Adoption Fee: $1000
This 4 year old monitor was given to us after a change in family circumstances meant her owner could no longer provide the necessary care. They made the very tough decision to give her up so we could find a home for her where she could get properly looked after. She is in beautiful condition and eating very well. A big bonus is that she handles exceptionally well for this species! This is the first Mangrove Monitor we have had available for adoption too so she is a rare one.
Length: 1 metre
Weight: 1.165kg
License Type Required: Basic
Animal will be microchipped prior to adoption.
