I say minion trying to defend a hero, too.

Your post wasn't taken out of context, you took the photographs out of context.

The only way those photographs can have no meaning is if one ignores all of the known information on lace monitor nesting in termite mounds. Information that has been published many times by many people, observed many times by lay people and herpers alike and is common knowledge everywhere but Arizona. You'd also have to ignore all of the other photographs of actual lace monitors nesting in termite mounds, shown in this very discussion - how else would you miss the similarities?

On top of it all, you'd also have to have no understanding of the Australian bush to be able to imagine there's a mystery animal out there making holes that look exactly like lace monitor holes.

I was told that 'if' lace monitors nested in termite mounds there'd be scars to show for it. I showed some examples of those very scars. As I said, some of those mounds had nests in them, some were test holes made in dead mounds. If you think I'm stupid and arrogant enough to open every live mound and remove the eggs just to prove a point to a stubborn guy in Arizona, you really are a fool.
