Plague Of Babies

[den]

Last night, after the stress of the day, I checked the live mousetrap and discovered it had caught a mouse and this:



A baby blue tongue! There is no way of opening the trap without releasing the mouse, so I had to let it go. "And don't come back!" I shouted after it as it fled under the fence into the neighbour's yard. I fed the little lizard some lettuce and let it go in the garden away from the bird seeds.

This morning I packed up Polly's bedding near the back door, and something rolled out:



Another baby blue toungue! At first I thought they were the same one, but comparing the stripes shows they are different babies. Siblings, certainly.

Woo hoo, as the saying goes. And Squee as well.

Blue-tongues are always cute, except when they clamp down on your finger.

That's just because your fingers look like lunch. It may help to get rid of the diner sign, and that little menu, and the waitress, and... ;)
