En effet je n'ai aucun interêt pour les exanthematicus, les albigularis et toutes ses sous-especes. Cepandant je respecte les gens qui les aime et j'aime partager avec eux, si on aimait tous les memes ce serais môche.

La seule chose assez farfelu qui me vient à l'idée, c'est comment quelqu'un peut savoir si c'est bien un albigularis albigularis, un microstictus, un ionodesi ou un angolensis sans en avoir vu des centaines et avoir compté les écailles. Les scientifiques arrivent difficilement à les classer alors...Pour moi c'est un albigularis, puisque je ne m'y connais pas avec les sous-espèces de cette espece.
Peut-être fred saurait m'éclairer sur son choix....

Considerable confusion can result from discussions of this species because of recent changes in taxonomic classification and inconsistent use of common names. Prior to 1989, this species (Varanus albigularis) was often classified as V. exanthematicus albigularis - a subspecies of the Savannah Monitor (V. exanthematicus). Varanus albigularis was raised to specific status, and for a time, the Black-throat Monitor was considered a subspecies of the White-throat Monitor. Under this classification scheme, the White-throat Monitor was V. a. albigularis and the Black-throat Monitor was V. a. ionidesi, hence the Black-throat's alternate common name "Ionides" Monitor. The taxon ionidesi has since been suppressed and the common names "Black-throat" and "White-throat" are used only to differentiate between these two ecotypic variants of V. a. albigularis. As of 1992, a single subspecies - V. a. microstictus - was recognized, but recently its validity has been questioned. It is unclear what the general consensus is among taxonomists regarding V. a. microstictus, but it may be that no subspecies of V. albigularis are currently widely recognized. Because of the early classification of V. albigularis as V. exanthematicus albigularis, the common name "Savannah Monitor" is sometimes used when referring to V. albigularis. The names "Cape Monitor," Banded Cape Monitor," and "White-throat Monitor" are all sometimes used to refer to V. albigularis. The common name "Black-throat Monitor" is usually used only to refer to the variant previously known as V. a. ionidesi. For the purposes of this animal record, "Cape Monitor" will refer to the V. albigularis variants collectively, and "White-throat" and "Black-throat" will refer to the variants previously known as V. a. albigularis and V. a. ionidesi, respectively.
