*'''The green tree monitor''' (''V. prasinus'') also requires specialised diet and husbandry. They grow to about 0.75m, are arboreal, spend most of their time in the high canopy in the vine, monsoon, palm, rain and mangrove forests, require high humidity, have a prehensile tail, feed mostly on arthropods, lizards and small birds, and require a lot of space.

*'''The black rough-necked monitor''' (''V. rudicolli'') may be easily tamed, relative to other monitors, but they have a low survival rate in captivity. They grow to about 1.2m, are arboreal, like to soak and are social (two may be better than one). Like all tree monitors, they have very long claws.
