[6] This monitor lizard is found in a restricted area of less than 100 km2 near the Claudie and Nesbit rivers, in the McIlwraith and Iron Ranges of the Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland.

[2][7][8] The colouration of V. keithhornei is dark black on the upper side.

[6] The canopy goanna is small for a monitor lizard, reaching a total length up to 77 cm,[9] but more robust than other species of the V. prasinus species complex, and can be further distinguished from them by its colour and the conical throat scales.

They forage in the trees and the leaf litter for insects such as orthopterans, roaches, and beetles.
