Varanus rosenbergi (Heath or Rosenberg's Monitor)

Similar to the more common and widespread Lace Monitor but the barring on the lips and chin is less bold. One of the best ways to tell the difference between V. rosenbergi and V. varius is the pale tail bands which are regularly spaced and relatively thin in the former and of varying thickness and very broad towards the end of the tail in the latter.

Less inclined to climb trees when disturbed than the Lace Monitor, but may occasionally do so.

Varanus rosenbergi is listed in the following regions:

Canberra & Southern Tablelands  |  Southern Highlands  |  South Coast  |  Greater Sydney  |  Hunter Region  |  Central West NSW
