[LullabyLizard]

Nawww!

Is the scrubbie in the last pic missing the end of its tail? (or body? :lol

 

[Retic]

Nice shots. In my experience at least wild Scrubbies are actually quite placid.

Nice pics.....but where are the pics of you picking it up and playing with it?.

Yep, thats why ill never get another one...if they dont bite you they will surely crap and wee all over you. Had a breeding pair for a few years and use to hate cleaning their enclosures especially when they were paired together. Dont miss them one bit.

 

[Chris1]

awesome head shots!!!

 

[Rache]

I love srcubbies they have the nicest faces. I wish the poor buggers would learn to stay off the roads tho, I would hate to think that some moron out there would run one over.

Yeh, just a little fella, only 6-7 feet.
Love Scrubbies, they do have friendly looking heads/faces (I know.... it's not always the case, some can be a bit snappy).
Saw one at a wildlife park a few weeks ago, but never advertised for sale (in Sth Oz). I got an email of one crossing a dirt road, and the question was "would you drive or wait" and my response was " I'd wait of course, you'd kill it if you drove over it!"
Stupid herpophobic emails!


Taken near Gloucester NSW

And here is the one at the park while I'm at it. They wouldn't let us hold it, brought out a 4ft coastal coming up to shed instead:?

I thought it looked a bit over weight and patterns were all wrong. Still would not run it over.
Plus I was fiddling to long on google and stuff to edit the post again.
