One of the authors (B.G.F.) has also acted as consultant on three varanid bites by captive bred specimens (Varanus komodoensis (Komodo Dragon), V. scalaris (Spotted Tree
Monitor) and V. varius (Lace Monitor)), each of which resulted in
rapid swelling (noticeable within minutes), dizziness, localized disruption of blood clotting and shooting pain extending from the
affected digit up to the elbow, with some symptoms lasting for several hours. The rapidity and pathology are consistent with bioactive secretions rather than bacterial infection. In addition, varanid venom also has been shown to have the ability to rapidly paralyse small animals such as birds25.
