H. weberi is only found on Halmahera and Ternate Islands of Maluku.[2][3]
H. weberi has a life-span of between 10 and 15 years.[4]
H. weberi is the smallest of the three recognized species of Hydrosaurus, attaining an average total length (including tail) of 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m).[citation needed]
H. weberi is omnivorous; devouring whatever animal it can overpower plus consuming a variety of vegetation and fruit.[citation needed]
In captivity, juveniles of H. weberi are usually maintained on a 60% insect / 40% vegetation diet. Adults consume approximately 75% vegetation and 25% insects and other non-vegetation life.[citation needed]
The specific name, weberi, is in honor of German-Dutch zoologist Max Wilhelm Carl Weber van Bosse.[5]
