Sloughed And Ready To Roll

Today, I came upon this Shingle-back lizard enjoying the sun. It's pretending it's not there, of course!

I was really pleased to see it as the local population appears to be dropping.

This one is only half-grown.

G'day JL,
Nice one! Our large skink is the Blue Tongue, we don't get the Shinglebacks this side of the Divide as far as I know.

Morning Gouldiae,

We've got the Blue Tongue here as well, but they are a bit hard to find. I don't think I would have much chance of a photo with my camera! Static and semi-static is my speed! :-)
