Electric strands set at a height of 150 mm above ground level on a farm in southern Namibia (28°34'S; 19°11'E - Warmbad area) to deny predators such as Blackbacked Jackal (Canis mesomelas) access to camps and killing domestic stock, have resulted in the death of various reptiles. Since the instalment of this electronic strand, three Rock Monitor [Varanus albigularis (DAUDIN, 1802)] and one Bushmanland Tent Tortoise [Psammobates tentorius verroxii (A. SMITH, 1839)] individuals have been electrocuted. The three adult Rock Monitor individuals were electrocuted whilst passing through diamond mesh and then coming into contact with the electric strand transmitting about 9000 volts in 1 second pulses.
