The swamp lizard is a salamander found in Morytania that players can capture via net traps with the Hunter skill at level 29 or above, granting 152 Hunter experience. Swamp lizards may be assigned as a hunters' rumour task by Huntmaster Gilman or Guild Hunter Cervus.

Captured swamp lizards can be used as a two-handed weapon. It requires a level of 30 Ranged, Magic and Attack to wield. To be operated, the swamp lizard requires its requisite fuel, guam tar.

Note that ghasts may be able to attack the player depending on trapping location. The westernmost trapping location and the location near Slepe are almost completely safe from ghasts.

Hunting technique

A player alching between catches.

The hunting technique is the same as for other salamanders. Players must bring at least one rope and small fishing net for each net trap they plan to set up. Clicking on a young tree will set the trap. The net and rope are retrieved on catching a lizard or dropped onto the ground on failing to do so, so players can use the same rope and net repeatedly. Guam tar can be used as bait.

When using 3 traps at the same time, requiring a Hunter level of 40, one may expect an hourly experience rate of 30,000 with decent concentration. Depending on efficiency, the rate may rise up to 45,000. Only the north-western spot and the location near Slepe are free of ghasts.

Players may find it useful to bring alchs or stackable fletching supplies to gain experience between catches.

Multiple traps

Net trapping can be done with multiple traps at once, with the maximum amount of traps depending on the player's Hunter level.
