There's another one out the back, it's fully grown unlike this one, but it's pretty shy about being photographed even when offered xmas ham :)

lucky the cat was eating ha ha did it actually eat the biscutes

blue tongues are awesome we live backing onto the bush and there great we have a few living in the backyard and they eat all the snails so they are great foor that

[OneManEmpire]

Yes, the Bluey just about climbed inside the conatainer :1peek:
and gutsed itself silly.
we were a little concerned about the Devon rex - the other cat my partner has -
as it likes to kill birds and anything else it can find, but i made sure that cat
was locked inside.

Cheers

We saw a black race horse a while back, man can they move!

Dad has one on his property. If you live near any bush they are great as they will keep snakes away. - so i was told anyway.

[HSVREDSLED]

Unfortunately they are my dogs favourite meal.

They eat baby snakes and more importantly snake eggs apparently....we never kill them even though they scare the sh1t outta ya when you see them, basically because i think they are a snake at first.

I've only seen 3 or so snakes in 10+ years here and i reckon thats not bad for a 6 acres near/in the bush.

When I was living with my parents in Adelaide, we had Blue Tongues living in the garden (In the suburbs mind you!) They are cool.

I have two Bearded Dragons as pets now. These are early photos they are a lot bigger now. They are very friendly and fun to watch when they fight each other, chase each other around and do all the arm waving and head bobbing stuff.

Nice dragons mate, i used to have one too (but didn't have a license:1peek:) so i put it back out in the wild as the fines are quite big lol. I am really keen to get a water dragon but they are high maintenance. Keep posting pictures of your reptiles peoples !!! :)

[iloveholden]

[OneManEmpire]

Thanks mate for posting your pic.
Looks live I've started something now..
The other pics are really cool as well. Had no idea people kept blueys as pets.
There's an even bigger one out the back of my partners house (Golden Grove)
I'll see if i can get some photos of it.

Cheers

Iloveholden that little fella you found in the sink was a Thick tailed Gecko.I've got a pair of them and a pair of beardies.The're really cool pets,only thing is the geckos only come out at night so you dont get to see them much

[vx_clubby]

Yes Thick Tailed gecko, I used to find heaps when iw as younger, they are very angry little fellows.

Yeah it wasnt happy that i had to move it outta the shed :)

[vx_clubby]

Hey actually after thinging about it a bit i remembered they make some noise, which reminded me of their other name in Aus, its a barking gecko, as they make little yipping noises like small dogs. Specially when provoked.

[mmciau]

I have put out about 10 x 1 Metre lengths of 90mm drainage pipe in various sections of the back garden area so ours can 'hide' if being threatened.

I had the "seven bells scared out of me" about 2 weeks ago when one was on the front door mat - first sight is 'scary'!!!!

He's a big bugger, mind you, there's always food out for him if he wants it.

looks like it plenty of food what u feed it

[OneManEmpire]

looks like it plenty of food what u feed it

It loves cat biscuits, as seen in the original pics I posted.
It also has our left overs from tea, so there's plenty of meats and veggies
for him / her to pig out on. I haven't seen it now for about 2 weeks.
I'm betting it's hibernating somewhere after engorging itself :)
