Argus monitor
The Argus monitor (''Varanus panoptes'') is a monitor lizard found in northern regions of Australia and southern New Guinea. It is also commonly known as the yellow-spotted monitor.〔
There are at least two Australian subspecies: the one in Western Australia is ''Varanus panoptes rubidus'' (rubidus referring to its reddish coloration), while the subspecies from Arnhem Land, the Kimberley and Cape York Peninsula is ''Varanus panoptes panoptes''.〔Ehmann, Harald. (1992). ''Encyclopedia of Australian Animals: Reptiles'', p. 152. Angus&Robertson. Pymble, Sydney, Australia. ISBN 0-207-17379-6.〕 The New Guinea variety is ''Varanus panoptes horni''.
==Physical characteristics==
The size of an Argus monitor differs greatly between the sexes, with the female reaching an average total length of three feet (90 cm), while the male reaches an average of 4–5 feet (120–140 cm), the larger sized animals being ''V. panoptes panoptes'' vs. ''V. panoptes horni''. It is a reasonably lean monitor and does not put on the bulk that its African cousins often do. Most Argus monitors are yellow in color, with a background of brown or dark tan. Their color often varies with place of origin or even the individual.
