Analogous setup with thermocouple inserted into lizard's cloaca.  Thermocouple wire is secured to the lizard's tail with electrical tape.  Thermocouple is plugged into a digital thermometer for monitoring of cooling rate (i.e., temperature as a function of time).  Lizard is secured on styrofoam with surgical thread nooses that are also threaded through the pegboard.
