  • Keeping the largest lizard on Earth requires a massive enclosure bigger than most suburban backyards.

  • Their diet consists of huge portions of whole prey, meaning your freezer will look like a full-blown butcher shop.

  • A bite delivers potent venom and septic saliva, which can quickly turn a routine handling session into a medical emergency.

  • Verifying you are human...

Also true for monitor lizards
