Posted by: herpsltd at Mon Jul 14 21:49:55 2008 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by herpsltd ] Flight distance means the measurement of distance that an animal will let itself be approached before it flees. That means busted noses in Varanids in cages too small. This distance varies from species to species and even upon individuals. How conditioned they are to people and many factors play into this "flight distance". Given proper support most Varanids won't rub their nose raw if their secure. I know when any lizard is secure by observing body language. I have a smaller female not pictured in a 4' x 4' x 2' wide cage that you can approach within 2' without her hiding. The big ones are more skittish for now. Soon they won't be as they adjust to their new surroundings. If you want to understand flight distances try to approach wading birds and you will understand. In other words dion't intrude their space unless you want them to injure themselves attempting to escape.....TC | ||
