That’s a blue tongue lizard! They are harmless and great for catching snails in the garden. They aren’t poisonous but I wouldn’t let one bite me. Apparently, if you have one of these you won’t have any snakes.
Yep, blue tongue. They also eat flies and like to drink milk from a saucer. They make a good non hands on pet if they find somewhere they like to live at your place.
You ain’t no country boy! 🙂 Love blue tongue lizards. The kids would do well to check him out. As long as we set him free. I don’t believe in keeping bluey’s in a box/cage.
Agree with Rob – have heard if you have a bluey or two in the backyard, they keep snakes at bay.
Also agree with Andrew – good backyard pet, if you leave them alone.
Tried to call the kids but only Henry got to see him. Henry was very impressed/
I bet you freaked out when you first saw it though!
Blue tongue lizard. Def do not let the kids play with it though – their bite is strong enough to take off a kid’s finger.
Ya it’s a blue tongue, grab em by their tails and there tails will drop orf!
My 1970’s Blackburn South school was infested with ’em
Camera shy?
