How do they restrain komodos when a vet visit is needed? Are you able to 'tranq' in any way a monitor? Just curious  . |
As I said they would never use a dart gun in the first place, but it would be possible to give an injection (not that that would be common either).
Just because your monitor didn`t show much/any reaction to being bitten doesn`t mean he didn`t feel it (if it penetrated the scales he would have).
Some (not all) species have osteoderms (small bony plates) under the dorsal scales, but if my memory serves me, not the African Varanids.
