Squeee!! Wantage!

(I was thinking of posting this already, and then I saw the bat - why should the fuzzy mammals be the only ones to get squee-age?)

Is that you holding him? If so, who took the pic?

Magnificent lizard, the blue-tongue. Beautiful plumage scales.

Okay....now can we get a shot of the tongue??!?! ;p

In our zoo here in Calgary, we have blue tongued skinks - is this the same thing? They have a program where they let the kids who visit pet the skink - obviously, they don't bite, right? If so, mayhaps you can tempt it to chomp on something....hopefully not your finger... and then we'll get a view of inside the mouth....

Is this the lizard you hold?

They do bite, but they don't have teeth so they can't break the skin. Big adults can clamp onto your finger and it is very painful. The bite is more of a crush and is a little painful, but then the lizard tries to do crocodile rolls and they're strong enough top almost dislocate the knuckle, and that's very painful. Trust me.

Oh, it's a fat little lizard!:D

Almost to big for its tail! I can see why Polly was traumatized, look at that reptilian scowl! The molluscs time is up on that one!

He was remembering the time when reptiles ruled the world.
