Lace monitor
The lace monitor is a large lizard that lives in eastern Australia, and it can grow up to 2 metres long. It is a skilled climber that often lives in trees, and it is one of the country's biggest monitor lizards. It is also known as the tree goanna.1

- The tail has narrow black and cream bands that get wider towards the tip.1
- Bell's form has a yellow-brown or yellow base colour with fine black mottling and broad black or dark brown bands from the shoulders to the tail.1
- Juveniles have more defined banding, with five narrow black bands on the neck and eight on the body.1
Kuasa bisa
Bisa keluar melalui taring atau giginya apabila ia menggigit.
Apa kesan bisanya?
Lace monitors have venom glands, and their venom is similar to snake venom, but it is not strong enough to cause serious harm. A bite on the hand can cause swelling within minutes, localised disruption of blood clotting (the blood clots less well in that area), and shooting pain up to the elbow. This pain can often last for several hours.1
