Baby Shingleback Lizard

[Ralph]

On the 13-10-2021 Being in Lockdown we can only go 15 kilometers from home.
This sort of pushes the limits but I am sure I could talk my way out of trouble.

Well I seen this baby Shingleback Lizard and growing up with them around us all the time I just love them.
This makes me have to pick them up in baby or Adult form. But the adult will open their mouths to scare you off.
These young ones have yet to learn this.

They are about the size of an average adult males hand in size so in reality this is small.
And for me they are so cute that you just can't get a shot and walk off you have to pick it up.
But even at this age they do have a defense and this is to go to the toilet.
So if holding it wrong you will have a hand covered in that. I am wise enough to know this.
But not wise enough to keep my camera out of danger. So that copped a lot.

So a clean up and then I was off with my shots.

Awesome beast, and nice shots.

As a kid in summer we would go out bush lizard hunting and we would come home with at least 10 every time.
So I am so use to seeing and picking them up. Its when we ran into snakes thing would be dangerous.
But each weekend we still would go out no matter what.
