Croc monitor wins easily on land, or in a shallow environment. Snakehead could drown croc tho

Well, from what I can tell, snakeheads are pretty adept on land and croc monitors are good swimmers. Each animal may have a good chance in the other's terrain.
I vote croc monitor. More durable and probably a deadlier bite.

the snakehead literally flops around on land. Its gonna get murdered.
I've seen a water monitor kill a snakehead in the water before

Shallow water would probably be fair, then - AFAIK, both animals spend a lot of time there.

The monitor and snakehead weigh equal amounts, but the monitor still is bigger in length and has venom, it wins this battle.

The monitor has long teeth that can do a lotta damage, the issue is they are tree living monitors so they probably aren't very good swimmers. Now snakeheads aren't exactly fast so that may not matter depending on how bad the croc monitor is at swimming. However, if it was against a dorado or a goliath tigerfish, it would get torn up

Wiki also says it lives in swamps and mangroves - are both true?

so croc monitors may be decent at swimming, in that case, it should win.

Crocodile monitors are wickedly fast. Especially the not so giant ones.

From what i understand crocodile monitors really aren't partial to the water of their habitat, so i'm not sure how it would perform in water.

Well, it's also posible for this to happen in shallow water; AFAIK both are competent there

The croc monitor's narrow tail and long body doesn't really tell me its a good swimmer as most amphibious reptiles tend to have a thicker tail and they aren't that elongated.
And the snakehead can be deceptively quick in short bursts so it def has a chance of winning, much better than against the larger water monitor. However, I'm not sure if one bite from a snakehead will really do much damage to the croc monitor's hide and after one strike, it will be vulnerable to the croc monitor's jaws as croc monitors are probably somewhat competent in the water as well.

So, mobility vs weaponry and durability. I think that can even the playing field.
