A body implant transmitter with a coil antenna is surgically implanted into the peritoneum cavity of a reptile. The transmitter and coiled antenna are fully encapsulated. This design is used on a variety of reptiles when an external attachment is not appropriate. Training is required to surgically implant the transmitter and there is a recuperation period for the reptile. This attachment does not change the reptile's behavior. The field range of a body implant with a coil antenna is approximately half that of a body implant with a trailing antenna.

The body implant attachment technique involves surgically inserting a transmitter into the peritoneum cavity of the reptile and exiting the whip antenna through the skin. This design is most commonly used to nullify the need for an external attachment and maintain an acceptable field range. Training is required to surgically implant the transmitter and there is a recuperation period for the reptile. This attachment does not change the reptile's behavior. Good field range is obtained though the trailing whip antenna, and even better range will be realized if the enhanced range option (models with "B" suffix) is chosen..
