Welcome to Scandinavian Goannas

On this website you will find all kinds of information about varanids.

It will be a continuous process on this site as I learn more and more about these amazing animals.

A little about who is behind Scandinavian Goannas.

“My name is Kenneth, at the time of writing I’m 46 years old, living in Denmark ( part of Scandinavia). I’ve kept reptiles since 1992.

Like many others I have kept different species over the years, before finding the species/groups of reptiles that I was most passionate about.

I’ve kept monitors since the early 2000s, but not as intense as I do today. I had a period where my main focus was Fiji banded iguanas ( Brachylophus sp. ) and I bred loads of them.

Then slowly my passion shifted more and more towards the monitors, and back in 2020 I stared to sell off most of the Fiji iguanas and started to really focus on monitors again.

Ive kept and bred the following species:

Varanus timorensis

Varanus panoptes horni

Varanus griseus griseus

Varanus indicus

Varanus tristis

Varanus acanthurus ( yellows and reds )

Varanus kingorum

Varanus primordius

Varanus storri

Varanus gilleni

Varanus Gouldii flavirufus.
