Hi Scott,

Yes they can tell us many wonderful things, like when they are in estrus and stink up the house like roasted almonds, or tick grooming, removing and killing the ticks upon themselves (Williams and Bayless, 2000) - many things we can see them do in captivity we will never see in the wild, and if you something you have never seen them do before, write it down, check with others and publish it = its great to share this kind of stuff with others whenever possible = it also gives the 'academics' more things to think about sometimes...some of us academic types do/have keep varanids you know! We just don't watch them in the wild/on animal planet or from forums like this!

cheers Scott,
mbayless
