Another creature for you all is attached.
After visiting Australia Zoo I now know this is a blue tongued lizard, however when my son first pointed it out in the bushes outside our apartments in Maroochydore I promptly Sh@t myself thinking it was a snake as I only saw the head and some of its body and with my son with his finger in its face saying "whats this daddy" I nearly fell over, until he kindly pointed out "its not a snake, its got legs you idiot" - thanks for that son.
cheers

You see now i'm right back to square one.Can't they just wave a white flag or something when they want to pop out from somewhere...at least i'd be prepared then!

Obviously they get real big ones here and using 44 gallon drums is the only way to catch them.

Mosquitoes are the worst though, together with fire ants. Snakes, well you generally see them, and they move out of the way normally, unless you tread on them, then run like holy crap :scared:
