relocating the cats and dogs????????yep let them go in a woodland area and turn feral,top idea,lol

[Bel03]

Wow. I never knew they had so many!! I always thought being live bearers......of such big babies too by the way, that they only had 2 or 3 maybe!!

As for the idea of not relocating them.......if the yard isnt safe the yard isnt safe & the caller made the right choice! Im sure they are much safer in their new home!!

Eastern Bluies are quiet tiny when born these were 60mm tops), though Shingleback young appear almost half the size of their mother (1-2 offspring). It seems the survival rate for newly hatched Easterns is very low, but, despite all the cats and dogs we have locally, we also have a Bluie resident in every second storm water drain and garden in town, so something's working for them!

Oh ok, cool, i always thought they were bigger. Ive never seen a baby bluey 'in person', but in pics they look bigger. They are very cute. Its always great to see any kind of wild life out & about, we have a heap of snakes, water dragons & monitors around our area, which always makes the afternoon walks that much more fun!!

I rarely see anything when i remember the camera though!! We seen a huge monitor on the weekend, as i am still learning about identifying, im not sure exactly, but i think it was a water monitor, it was gorgeous! We see tree snakes almost every walk, they are always in a hurry to get up the trees out of our way though, & on a number of occasions we have spotted some HUGE coastal carpets, heading into the reeds along the waters edge. We spot turtles often & just found a massive Koi the last time we were feeding the ducks. Its nice, our last neighborhood we seen nothing but drunks & rubbish!!

I am on the east coast, so perhaps it was. Im taking the kids down to the park later today, & ive got the camera ready to go, so i really am hoping we see him again! Id love to know for certain what he is, i didnt get a great look at him last time, as once he spotted us he ran into some thick overgrowth, on the way back he was still hiding but had his head poking out. So cute anyway whatever he is! If i get pics, i will be sure to post them.

Thought I'd add this little fella here, sort of the down side to the upside. I've had him now for a few months following a cat attack; didn't think he'd make it (puncture wounds to the spine), but looks promising now! Loves his mice, and greens, of course (appologies for pic quality).

Awww baby bluey luv em, thanks for sharing

[imported_Varanus]

I should have mentioned, any thoughts on release dates, given that he's lost his primary fat store (tail) and brumation is only a few months away, at least for local herps? Keeping him in care until next season may be the more viable option??

[grannieannie]

Well, I certainly wouldn't want them in my yard, sorry folks, but lizards really freak me out !!
