Notanigerian Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 My dog caught a four foot long water monitor and killed it. The <deleted> has been sneaking in and eating all the fish in my pond, so I'm glad she got it, but now I'm wondering how to dispose of it. Are they protected at all? Can I just throw it in the trash or should I double bag it and go leave it in a nearby trash pile not right out side my house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Fire up the barbie. I'm pretty sure they're not protected, talk to your village head, he should know how to dispose of the evidence body remains. Wifey would just bung it in the khlong, plenty of critters in there to recycle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they were in trouble before receiving protected status but have now recovered to almost become a pest in some areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw it either. Glad my dog finally caught him in the act, it had no chance. She's a good girl.

bangkokairportlink Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 You dog is cute <3 Don't talk to anyone, with all the retards around you never know what can happen, put the corpse in trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandrabbit Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Give it to the locals, we have them 2m long here and I was told the meat is 200 baht a kilo. When you first see them you think it's a crocodile or a komodo dragon. Edited June 11, 2017 by sandrabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedsada3 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 What a coincidence: today one of our dogs barked very loud (other sound than when there is a snake in the garden) and when I arrived to check what happened, I saw a 1.5m long water monitor in the garden. I was afraid for my dog. Although I am champion in catching snakes, I couldn't take it on me to catch the monitor. I know they are very fast and will be difficult to keep at the end of the catcher stick and alone I have no chance to catch it alive. I tried to keep my dog away from it because even if they have no poison, their mouth water is full of bacteria and their teeth are very sharp. While the GF called the rescue to come help, it started to move. My dog lost itself from my arms and ran behind the monitor. The beast ran and climbed as fast as it ran the 1.8m high wall and disappeared in the swamp behind our house. I'd like to know what kind of dog the OP has. Mine are a mix of Labrador and Thai dogs. Their size are 58 cm (6 yo) and 60cm (1.5 yo) at the shoulder (both female) but anyway I was scared anything could happen to them. By the way, GF says that killing a monitor should give bad karma... (but we never kill animals we catch, we let them free far away from home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfdgfdfdgs Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Surprised to hear that these are protected, they're everywhere. I've seen people throwing a dead one in the back of a truck, presumably to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Bin bag and one of the street trash bins away from your house if you have them. That's what I would like to do with the neighbour's dogs. Edited June 11, 2017 by jacko45k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but we never kill animals we catch, we let them free far away from home) That one looks a bit bigger than the one mine caught. She's a 7 month old doberman, weighs about 30kg so far, so the lizard didnt have much chance. though you can see she got a scratch on her nose and was bleeding a little. By the time I heard the commotion and ran out there the lizard was done for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notanigerian Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 i think it whipped her nose with it's tail, she was bleeding a little bit, but just a scratch, didn't look like a bite (was just a line) so either claw or tail. I put antibiotic cream on it for 24 hours and it's all healed up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bowman Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Right down the road many years ago. The villagers threw this lizard in the Nan River and said it wasn't good to eat. Normally, these lizards are only killed when chickens start disappearing. Sorry for the lousy pic, but it was my first digital camera.
