forgot to post this a couple of days ago but we had a big lizard (pretty sure it's a perentie, not the biggest one i've seen) here at the apartments

it eventually snuck into a room under someone's bed until we had someone help it back out into the bush

Perentie are shy and keep away from human habitations so they are rare to see.

@mur2501 that looks to be the one, thanks

saying that, perenties do make their way in here and get pretty close to people (one has gotten their way into a room multiple times)

It's not impossible to find them or them finding you but just less probable then other lizards.

Perentie have bigger spots as you can see, also they are bigger in size then the sand goanna.

At my place, Asian Water Monitors are commonly seen fighting each other on road sides
