Abstract
Until very recently, the Bornean earless monitor, Lanthanotus borneensis, has rarely been kept in captivity, and published accounts on the habits of captive individuals and their husbandry are scarce. In this account, we detail aspects of the husbandry and behavior of a single L. borneensis maintained in captivity by the Bronx Zoo from 1968 to 1976, in the hopes that this information may contribute towards an improved understanding of the species’ biology and captive management.
