OHHH NOOOO!!!! Look what I just found in my bedroom!!! It was only about 10cm long, but it was a snake!!! Help!!! is it dangerous? Is it a baby of a big unfriendly mother or is it going to stay that way???? And where are the others???????????????
Holy cow, and I thought I was sorted with Mortein, fancy having no spiders but snakes under the bed!

That looks more like a lizard than a snake. It has little legs, which snakes don't have.

That is so cute Just open the door and let him out, or let him stay. he's lovely.

GreenSauce

Phew! Thanks mate, your right - didnt see those legs in my state of shock! Guess I can get out of my leather bike gear now...

GreenSauce

Well now that I know its just a lizzard, yeah, he can stay and it the creepy crawlies Managed to get him out, far away from the house earlier though...

Thats the weirdest lizard ive ever seen, maybe its a freak of nature do you live close to a power plant?

bobbyftm

Maybe alright for a stew ?

ianhutch1

I really wouldnt be going near that just yet until you get confirmation of what it is, look more snake than lizard to me

That's a skink I reckon. Harmless.

GreenSauce

Harmless sounds good, but whats a skink? Some sort if lizzard then? Is that its full size, or will I find any bigger ones? Are they very common? I'll go google skinks...

GreenSauce

I've allready been near it but I survived with the help of lots of leather... I have hopes on the skink theory, whatever they are..

worzel

Yeah, a kind of lizard. We get a lot of them having a swim in our pool. They come in legged and legless varieties (like poms).

Wait til you find a bobtail or a blue tongue in your garden. Then you will really 5hit yourself! The heads look just like they belong on a 2 metre snake.

Come back skink and eat the spiders!!! So happy it was a lovely little skink
Saw myself hunting snakes through the house all night, fancy it looks more like hunting booze

here is a photo of a blue toungue from when i was in bamaga last week. i had to prod him a few times to get him to stick his tongue out. i also dont know what the big fuss is with snakes. we saw a couple of good size ones. this one is about 3 metres long. i was antagonising this fella so we could get a good photo. the lads are now calling me Bindi.
