Firstly,

Yes you a right these ones are loggers, i'm jumping the gun. The dog project has the real time GPS collars so far. It is anticipated that out new trackers may be real time as long as we get the appropriate funding. As can be invisaged, they are not cheap! At this stage it's not a student project but a pet research project of Jason's and myself and a few others are part of it. It may become a studen't project in the future. Aleesha pictured is doing her PHD on the South Creek catchment area and came on this trip for experience. Laura has also done the research on our "feeding trials of childrens pythons" experiment that was presented at the recent CARA conference (which the results of will be outlined shortly).

And serpenttongue,

The temperament of these guys is variable. So far we have big males all over 7kg. If it's hot they can be scary. Some just sit like puppydogs, it's an individual thing. One things for sure you must make sure you don't stuff up. Generally we will use the kevlar gloves for precaution being in a remote area. Just on this particular walk we did not take them, and it was a last minute decision to remove the unit! They are also usually placed in a bag which helps them settle quickly!

Cheers
