Well, some of you guys may have seen my other post in the aussie snakes forum, with the wild spotted python that was in the college.. well, this time Ive found another frillneck lizard, this guy was outside basking in a grassy area near a carpark at the college. Noticed him when i parked my car, and went to get my camera. let me within about 4metres before scaling the nearest tree.
found it at one of the colleges at JCU, nth QLD. must be the 6th frilly ive seen this year? which is awesome, ive never seen them in the wild until i came up here.
Playing hide-and-seek; the liz kept moving around the tree when i moved, and it was rather funny actually.. id go one way, to get a better view, and he'd move round the tree so i couldnt see, but left his head in a spot where he could still keep an eye on me.. if i went the other way so he couldnt see me, he'd come back around a lil to watch me still..

haha reminds me of a story. my dad came over here from canada (not really reptile rich) and was sitting in a very important business meeting with the heads of all the regions of timber. They were all talking calmly and quietly as business people do, when my dad happened to look out the window, seeing a large frilled lizard sitting on the window sill. he then proceeded to jump out of his chair and yell "OH LIZARD!!" they all looked at him quizically to which he replied and sat down saying...."sorry...canadian"
lol

mhmm. today i handed in my last assignment for the year. YAY! so tomorrow im planning on having the day off... maybe looking for some reptiles. around the uni, if i go around in the arvo, say 4-dark, what r my chances of finding something, most specifically, snakes? Im really interested in finding some more snakes, vens or pythons, whichever. yesterday arvo i was walking around in the creeks at the uni looking for any reptiles, but found nothing
