It is named for the distinct roughened scales on its neck and throat, which give it a textured appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1348\" data-end=\"1590\"\u003eThis species is semi-arboreal, spending time both in trees and on the ground while actively hunting insects, small mammals, and other prey. Its strong limbs, prehensile tail, and alert behaviour make it an agile climber and capable forager.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1865\"\u003eIn captivity, Rough-neck Monitors thrive in spacious enclosures with vertical climbing opportunities, basking spots, hides, and access to clean water. Maintaining appropriate temperatures, humidity, and a varied diet supports natural activity, growth, and overall health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia","offers":[{"title":"Unsex","offer_id":54772222067025,"sku":"black-rough-neck-monitor-unsex","price":479.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1077\/6952\/8657\/files\/Varanus-rudicollis_3.jpg?v=1788340389","url":"https:\/\/viperiareptiles.co.uk\/products\/black-rough-neck-monitor","provider":"Viperia Reptiles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
