Have you ever heard before about Varanus Macrae?

An interesting reptile Varanus Macraei or Blue Tree Monitor. From the same family tree as the Monitor reptiles, the Blue is a brilliant blue with scattered black scales, the formation of spots that form bands back in May on the back. The tip of the snout and lower jaw is light blue, white. The bottom of the legs is equal light turquoise. They prefer a solitary life, but to do well in pairs.

This reptile can grow up to order 40 cm (from nose to tail) with 2 / 3 of the length being the tail. The muzzle of the Blue Tree Monitor is almost white, with the belly. You can differentiate between sex by the jaw. Males have a curved lower jaw (light) and the female has a nearly straight jaw. Seeing a Blue Tree Monitor for the first time might think of a dinosaur, but it is a strikingly beautiful reptile.
