That was me, and I thank you!
What I find interesting from the point of view of comparative anatomy is that other lizard species do not have buttons to hold ligature. I'm not a keeper of monitors, do they have them? Why don't iguanas have them (I know their equipment is larger proportional to body size). I know iguanids are very different and have waxy pores as well...but it just got my curiosity going.
What herpetology text would you recommend for a study of physiology and not so much taxonomy? I saw Laurie Venn (sp?) had a text but I got the impression it mostly covered taxonomy.
