Resident Sand Goanna!

Hey all!

I went to the bins at the front of my complex today, and on the way, i saw a tail! Being curious i ducked down to see a Sand Monitor! (well i didn't know what it was at first, so i had to send pics to Tan to tell me!). It was so cute! So i ran back and got my camera to take some photos!

Talked to some people a little later who said it's always around. Has a favourite tree and everything. It let them pat it the other day apparently! So i told them my unit (there's 72 in our complex) and asked them to come get me if they see exciting stuff like that . Haha the groundskeeper introduced me as 'Miss Steve Irwin' lol he just couldn't remember my name hahaha good cover though

Good Herping Claire!!!

Is it a water monitor at the moment? It will go back to being a sand monitor soon I guess!
