A couple of interesting visitors passed through today.
Not sure if they are a couple, but the one behind was very keen to follow the one in front...
We have had quite a few of these Shingleback Lizards around this year. They are pretty big ones too.
They're beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI used to get 3 Blue tongues outside my flat door here in the suburbs - buy sadly no longer. I was told 3 years ago the cane toads would wipe them out within 5 yrs in nature. Well it seems that info may have been right. Terrible.
I try and freeze all the cane toads from my yard. 3 years ago there were none. Now I see them regularly and increasing in numbers :-(
Look like lurve! But how does he tell which end is the business end? LOL
ReplyDeletehow cute! our kids think its amazing when we find a blue tongue in our backyard! hows the weather your way?
ReplyDeleteHow exciting. No lizards around us thanks to 2 dogs and 2 cats.
ReplyDeleteApparently shingle back lizards mate for life, so you saw a happy little couple awww. Loved the pics! Hope they live a long happy life together!! :)
ReplyDeleteWe would call those a "bobtail". And we have lots of them too. They are supposed to keep snakes away as apparently they eat their eggs.....
ReplyDeleteThey look pretty cosy to me !
ReplyDeleteAww they are so cute. I hope they get to spend a long and happy life together.
ReplyDeleteOh they are great, Mr Sft and I loved looking at the photos, and it's great that they mate for life too.

I think I love 'sleepy' lizards because they are so harmless. I nearly stepped on a Blue Tongue the other day as he disappeared under a daisy bush in my back yard! Yikes, gave me a fright for a minute!
ReplyDeleteAlthough we live on 2.5 acres, we have never, touch wood, seen a snake here yet! Do the lizards keep them away?

Your lucky to have them visit in your garden Tania. You must have a nice habitat for them.
ReplyDeleteWe have bearded dragons in our garden from the incy wincy only 5cm long ones to the big granddaddies.
We get the occasional Blue Tongues as well but unfortunately our Red Cattle Dog will kill them. He never touches anything other than snakes or Blue Tongues Funny that!
How wonderful to have wild life in your back yard... I much prefer Lizards to snake any day :))
