Re: Croc monitor
Yes a very ancient thread, however I figured that I should probably give up my own personal picture of a crocodile monitor bite wound, and I didn't know where else to put it.
If that picture doesn't work here's the direct link:
http://s1198.photobucket.com/albums/...-31at533PM.jpg
The monitor that grabbed me there was about 4.5ft long, and that was merely the side of his jaw. Not a full on bite. That just shows you what it's like when getting into a lizard like this. Think less lizard, and more dinosaur when dealing with croc monitors.
I'd hate to see what a big 8ft male could do with a bite, honestly I'd imagine if one ever got a bite on someone's throat it could end in a fatality.
While reading through this thread it's plain to see why so few crocodile monitors live to adulthood in captivity; they end up with some kid who doesn't know how to care for them, and then they die before their first year.
Luckily the crocodile monitor who gave me that bite ended up with a very nice man who clearly knew what he was doing.
