Varanus spinulosus, the spiny-necked mangrove monitor, is a species of monitor lizard.

It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Also distributed in Santa Isabel Island, San Jorge Islands and Papua New Guinea.

Description

The color and pattern of various populations of V. salvator varies geographically. Juveniles have a distinctive pattern, but in some populations the pattern becomes obscured with age.

Diet

They feeds on megapode eggs and on fish, often emerging from the bush. In the intertidal zone at low tide, it is possible that they would search for dead fish.

Relationship with Human

During the 1990’s, many spinulosus were imported under the common name “mangrove monitor” due to increased desirability in the pet trade.
