Quite wrong; there are so many overweight and dead monitors in such a short space of time, because they weren`t fully supported. Surely NOT because they were fed some rodent prey???That`s an excuse, it helps "them" explain the repeated and untimely deaths of their charges... How about the wind direction changed, my sock had a hole in it????
They were effectively given the "death penalty", the moment they were aquired by undoubtably well meaning, but ILL INFORMED individuals, unable to distinguish between reliable advice based on experience and knowledge from the ridiculous assumptions made from circumstantial "evidence" which gets turned into actual fact....
Most studies on wild varanids are merely a "snap shot", a tiny piece of the whole... And besides, that`s the wild, this is nothing remotely like it!!
