Spring has Sprung............and the Reptiles have emerged


Just a quick post.

The first day of September was a warm sunny day with a top temperature around 25°C (77°F). The warmth of the day brought out a few of the reptiles.

A rather large Copper-Head - beside the dam


A fat n healthy Blue Tongue Lizard - at the front of the home

Another Copper Head near the rear deck

....and another Blue Tongue

Since last week, the Blue Tongues have been seen basking in the sun at every possible opportunity.  

The snakes on the other hand have not been out again - maybe they've had a quick feed and are having another snooze until the warm weather is a little more consistent.
