before you impulsivly by a baby varanid (monitor species) please do reasearch and make sure you can provide the proper space, heating and most importantly food!
It's a tioman locality variant of a clouded monitor(varanus nebulosus). Theres' lots of em around everywhere in Tioman. There are also waters(salvator). but this is definately a clouded. I dun know bout the red coloring tho. i'll stay reserved on that.
Hey cool. You're user name is based on their genus. =)
I did a very basic search on Wikipedia and Wikispecies but not all entries have pictures. So no luck narrowing down the species.
My personal guess is that its not some unknown species but just a colour variant of an established one, kind of like redheads among humans.
If you know your stuff you should look through species restricted to South East Asia, tolerates both salt and freshwater. This guy was only 3 1/2 feet long. Hope that helps.
hey thanks. hmm...sounds like maybe a jobiensis or indicus, but i'm unaware of any "red phase" floating around. maybe a rusty water monitor? i dunno...i'll have to do a little bit of research. gorgeous lizard though.
OMG!!!!! A wild Charmander appeared from the tall grass!

Check out the comments from other visitors. They've suggested Water Monitor or Clouded Monitor (varanus nebulosus).
Red coloring might be paint. It didn't look like paint to me at the time.

You're welcome. It was a very waxy crayon red, which the YouTube doesn't do justice to. Definitely beautiful.

Maybe a PRanisus like a blue or a green

Definately not prasinus. notice how short is the tail. Arboreals have way longer tail and much slender body.
