THE BOOK OF MONITOR LIZARDS - BERND EIDENMÜLLER...

Within the last decade  our knowledge concerning Monitor Lizards increased tremendously  not
only by the number of new described species  but also by our knowledge about their biology and
how to breed them. For example Varanus komodoensis has his own inner-species communication by
determined movements of its tail  and even communal Egg-laying is shown by two monitor species
(Doddy  Social Life of Reptiles) and the Varanus gouldii burrows are such astonishing examples
of lizard-architecture which are almost unbelievable. I am glad Bernd Eidenmüller took the task
of compiling and writing of what can easily be called todays Bible of monitor lizards. Bernd
Eidenmüller has had a passionate interest in Varanid species for many years. He has travelled
extensively to pursue this passion  particularly in outback Australia  where he has studied and
photographed them on many expeditions. In the field of husbandry of these reptiles Bernd has
built a solid reputation for successful breeding of many species  beginning with V. timorensis
in 1983. In the years since  he has bred a total of 13 species and described  together with R.
Wicker  a new species  V. reisingeri in 2005. Bernd has contributed articles on monitors to
reptile magazines including Iherp Australia. Neville Burns Blue Mountains Reptile Awareness.
