The rough-necked monitor of Borneo, Varanus Rudicollis, is easily recognized by the extremely thin snout, long nostril, and enlarged heeled nuchal scales.
Temporal arch is present. Osteoderms are greatly reduced or absent. Scalation is uniformly small and granular. The tail may be spiny or long and whip-like. The family consists of one genus, with nearly 60 varieties, found in Africa (except Madagascar), Asia, and Australia.
These lizards are active predators. They can run, swim, and climb well; many are excellent burrowers. When frightened in the open, they aim at clambering up the nearest vertical object, herpetologists not excepted! These animals are strictly carnivorous and strictly oviparous.

Blue-tongued Skinks are also found in Australia but their export is prohibited, so most legally imported Blue-tongued Skinks seen in the pet trade are from Indonesia. Yes, they do have a brightly colored blue tongue, which is a sight to behold. They use their tongue as a warning or defensive gesture to ward off enemies as well as to help secure prey.
The majority of Skinks have four well-developed limbs, but a few species have severely reduced limbs, which forces them to resort to a more snakelike form of locomotion. Some skinks are completely limbless. Some skinks lay few eggs, as few as one and rarely more than three or four. Others give birth to live young and still other species are ovoviviparous, which means they produce eggs but incubate them internally.
