that first pic gave me the heeby-jeebies |
Lol, the ones here in Australia are pretty tame. I think :p
I found a waterdragon over the road in the park about a week ago, but I didn't have my camera to take a pic. It looks pretty much the same as this, but with less black and more grey:
It was pretty big, about 35cm (13") kinda spiky. They're pretty lethargic too, so you can pat them down the back and they sort of flatten themselves out. Pretty cool. |

This is a male. Very distinctive burnt orange head. |
He's a cool looking lizard, really unusual colouring on him! Congrats on becoming a godfather to a dozen baby lizards :p
I used to have a couple of these at my place ages ago
(Not taken by me)
Blue Tongue lizards, they'd eat all the snails, slugs and bugs around the place, I think cats got them though as I've not seen them for years :( |

We get them here too! They have a mega powerful bite, so your kitty had wanna be careful :p Love their awesome tongues though.
But I have to admit I kind of freak out when I see them from the corner of my eye, as they look just like a snake. |

| Yeah, they do look like Joe Blake which isn't good for their survival around nervous girls with a rake, they also really hiss loudly... Kitty wouldn't bother them because he's more or less to the point where his geriatric ass can barely take on a mouse. Those water dragons get huge too! About 3ft long and all spines and claws. |

Holy , 3 feet long? Never seen one that big. I saw a waterdragon a couple of years ago that was about, I don't know, maybe 2 feet?
What I don't get is why they're around here. There's no water for about a kilometer or so. |

My grandmother was really scared of them as a little kid. My uncle got a small lizard and he snuck up behind her and put it down her dress. She was so scared that she couldn't move so she just stood there and screamed.
I think my uncle got a good beating for it. |
how could your uncle put it down her dress when she was a kid?
:conf:
'my sister may be a pretty mean woman, but she's the only mama i got'?? |

Be careful handling them like that. Depending on what kind of lizard/skink they are, their tales may disconnect as a defense to something grabbing it like that.
Cool looking though :) Good find. |
What do you mean? I have not touched them. |

He thinks that's your hand touching them. |
