Comments
=========
The Timor monitor or spotted tree monitor (Varanus timorensis) in the Varanidae famly is a species of small monitor lizards native to the islands of Timor, Savu, and Rote, and in East Timor. Kimberley rock monitors (Varanus glauerti), banded tree monitors (Varanus scalaris), and spotted tree monitors (Varanus similis) were once considered subspecies of the Timor monitor, but have since been elevated to full species status. Currently, the peacock monitor (Varanus auffenbergi) is sometimes considered a subspecies, but is usually considered its own species.
