The body length of the yellow monitor lizard can reach 1 foot 3 inches as an adult, and the tail length exceeds the body length by about 1 foot 8 inches. Because of its relatively large size, it is not recommended to raise it artificially. If you must raise it, you need to prepare a room of about 15 square meters in size.
Their snouts are pointed and short. The nostrils are opened obliquely, making it closer to kissing. The toes are short, and the fourth toe is not longer than the thigh bone. The scales on the head are small, and the supraorbital scales become larger outward. The scales on the back are round and the scales on the abdomen are smooth, with 65-75 rows. The tail is flat with raised scales. The back is olive or yellow with irregular patterns. The abdomen is yellow with some brown horizontal stripes, which are clearly visible at the throat. The back of the young lizard is dark brown with yellow freckles that gradually form patterns. The abdomen is also yellow with dark brown horizontal stripes.
