Hey Minka,

Some are aggressive in the cage and some are not at all. Generally the ones trapped on hot days in the middle of the day are the most feisty! The last one pictured on releasing was very placid didn't bat an eyelid.

The traps are checked regularly at all parts of the day. Our permit insists on this. Traps are placed always in the shade. And Minka, your delusional without SUN lol!

Well done guys, keep up the good work. I have helped out with a Eastern Bearded Dragon study similar to what you are doing, it's amazing what you can learn and experience from this.

fantastic work guys, hope the colder weather doesn't restrict their movements too much for your results.

Hey Chilli,

The restricted movement data is also what we want. Where they hibernate and how much they move in relation to temperatures. As it is an ongoing study, monitors will be studyied in all the different seasons. Our only worry is retrieving the GPS units once shed off. If it's under a big rock platform their will be a lot of digging lol!

Great stuff. There was a beautiful monitor wandering through our picnic last week at Crosslands Reserve. They are awesome to watch, but we stayed a respectful distance from those claws.

Yes they carry on a bit don't they. Lucky i was good over a skipping rope when i was a kid. They find it hard to swing the tail within the cage so all is good.
