18 DO NOT EVALUATED DATA LEAST NEAR DEFICIENT CONCERN THREATENED VULNERABLE ENDANGERED> NE DD LC NT VU EN O Lutz Obelgonner CRITICALLY EXTINCT ENDANGERED IN THE WILD CR EW EXTINCT EX Blue Speckled Tree Monitor (Varanus macraei) Little is known about this lizard which measures up to a meter in length. It is endemic to West Papua's Batanta Island (an area of just 455 km² in the Raja Ampat Islands off the west coast) but is endangered as a result of over-collection for the pet trade (attracting up to $1,500 each). Export from Indonesia is increasing, with almost all likely to be supplied by wild-caught specimens that suffer high rates of mortality after capture. Halmahera Sea Sorong Manokwari Biak о Ceram Sea The Blue speckled Tree Monitor has a fully prehensile tail, which is 2/3 of its body length, which allows them to grip branches and stay aloft in the forest canopy. On the ground they can coil their tails horizontally and use them as a defensive whip. The rainforests they inhabit stay between 83 and 100°F all year round, with only a drop of 2-4 degrees at night.
