Behavior
Relatively little is known about the natural ecology and behavior of the blue tree monitor for sale. From the research completed so far, this species is diurnal (active in the daytime) and seems to be almost completely arboreal. Their sharp claws give them a secure hold on almost any rough surface, and the blue tree monitor for sale can climb with considerable ease. While moving amongst branches, they employ their prehensile tail as a grasping tool, in much the same way that chameleons use their tails. Unlike chameleons, though, the blue tree monitor may coil their tails on a plane horizontal to their bodies and rapidly uncoil the appendage for use as a defensive whip. Like most monitor lizards, the Blue Tree Monitor is a very nervous species that avoids potential predators by fleeing up trees and keeping the tree trunk between itself and the intruder, much as squirrels do here locally.
Reproduction and Breeding
In captive settings, courtship has been initiated by the female blue tree monitor for sale. When she is receptive to mating, she approaches the male and the two spend time basking on the same perch over a period of days. Mating usually occurs within the next few days.
