Basil the green tree monitor lizard (Varanus prasinus) has come a long way in his taming! As you can see here, I am feeding him some canned grasshoppers (he LOVES them)! When food is out of reach tree monitors possess a unique set of skills they can use to get to food in hard to reach places. One of them is to rise up and stand on their two hind legs. It’s quite impressive to watch a lizard effortlessly stand up on two legs. These animals never cease to amazing me! • #treemonitor #varanusprasinu
