Hi all,
A number of weeks ago I posted a thread showing (very dodgy) pics of Delma molleri (a legless lizards species).
Anyway, I was back at the farm looking for the species again and after a pathetic weekend and in the last 20mins before we were going to leave, I find one!
Well heres some (again, dodgy) pics.
