The spiny-tailed monitor is a lizard from northern and western Australia. It lives among dry, rocky hills and is known for its round tail covered in spiny scales. It is a small monitor, and it hides in rock cracks and burrows during the day.1

Ni ngay ko xàmmee

  • Upper side is a rich, dark brown with bright yellowish to cream spots, which often enclose a few dark scales1
  • Tail is round in section and has very spiny scales1
  • Tail is about 1.3 to 2.3 times as long as the head and body combined1
  • Pale longitudinal stripes run along the neck1
  • Has 70 to 115 scales around the middle of the body1

Ñu ngi koy faral di jaxasoo ak: It is similar to V. baritji and V. primordius. The spiny-tailed monitor can be told apart by the pale stripes on its neck, which those two species do not have.1

Xibaar

1

About 70% of the water this lizard needs comes from its food.1

2

Females have been seen sharing large burrows and nesting together in them.1

3

Sheltering underground gives it access to humid conditions, which helps it stay hydrated in a very dry land.1

4

Pet-trade spiny-tailed monitors are sold as two colour types, the red ackie and the yellow ackie, which are likely two different subspecies.1
