Black Dragon Varanus at Jayden Jose blog

Black Dragon Varanus. Varanus salvator a.k.a the asian water monitor is a large growing, intelligent, and alluring lizard that is found in southern and southeast asia. This species was first described in 1768 by josephus laurenti, an austrian naturalist. The black water monitor is solid black due to a genetic mutation but is the same subspecies as the southeast asian water monitor, varanus salvator macromaculatus. Black dragons from the thailand locality, generally are referred to as the subspecies komaini. Black dragons are a color mutation (like an albino in leopard geckos) which make an all black hyper melanistic variation of the water monitor. The black dragon lizard gets its color from a gene mutation similar to the type responsible for albinism in other lizards. Asian water monitors (varanus salvator) are lizards in the varanidae family. Hyper melanistic water monitors or “black dragons” are a naturally occurring heritable color phase. Water monitors are gigantic reptiles that have been around for millions of years. Their family is a group of 50 to 60 lizards that includes the iconic komodo dragon.
