Hi, if it`s used on hatchlings/juveniles of the larger species there`s no reason it couldn`t work. I remember asking David (crocdoc) some time ago if he`d tried it with his Lace monitors (V. varius), I think he did but it wasn`t effective because they have a black band at the base of their tail which obviously stops the light getting through.
I haven`t tried it yet, but I would think it might work on V. salvator youngsters (it`s always worth a try).
