Hi Harvey, No I do not remember the pm's, I do not try to keep track of them, as you can imagine, I get hundreds upon hundreds. I am sorry.

Also heartrate is a method to understand their stress levels. M

Most people confuse a sav being calm and laid back as tame. When in fact, they are highly stressed. This stress is what becomes a huge problem for Leash monitors.

The reality is, a healthy normal monitor would not tolerate a leash. They simply are too active. Again that slow walk is a sign of stress.
This occurs with wild monitors, once caught, they act calm and stop stuggling. But their heartrate is very high. You can put them down and they slowly walk off. Its a defensive mechanism.

Speaking of defensive mechanisms. You have no need to explain anything to anyone. All those here are trying to help. But its very hard to help, when these mechanisms take over, and they do.

Most of us have heard the same things over and over. And much of what you are saying has been heard over and over. And to a sad ending, which is why we/us/I are trying to help.

Also, most of what we say, those of us with experience, is very general, as we do not have your animal in our hands. Even pictures do not tell an accurate story.

So if your interested in a point, then its your task to stay on point and keep guiding the thread back to whats important. Again, thats your task.

For me, the leash thing and the weight are questionable. Remember, I do not know anything, I am not there. I am only guessing. So keep us real Wayne. Thanks
