Predators and Prey
Black tree monitors are carnivorous, consuming insects, smaller lizards, and small mammals such as shrews. They may also take scorpions, eggs, and nestlings. They are themselves preyed upon by larger lizards and snakes, as well as foxes, which were introduced to the region. They are also hunted by humans.
