I'm soooooo brave.

While taking our little dog for a walk this afternoon we came across one of those...blue tongue lizards...in the driveway of a house. I was worried it might get run over, I knocked on the door of the house, but no one was home. Sooooo, I found a little plastic crate in their garden and ... s l o w l y.....coaxed it into the crate and put it into the garden of the house. Now some of you may laugh...but for ME...that was a big deal because I'm generally....TERRIFIED...of any reptile with legs This little bloke was quite sturdy and fiesty and tried to have a go at me....I know he was just frightened of me....he just didn't know I was far more frightened of him.

I feel very proud and happy with myself.

Nice little save, i'm afraid of wild reptiles just that little bit, but enough so i only pick up geckos and SMALL skinks!

But i've got no problem with these guys!

Ahhhh yes, well gecko-mad....I don't think I'd pick up one of them....I don't think I've even seen one in the wild. Although there are things I'm scared of....I'd never, never hurt anything...even little spiders in my house I rescue....with the exception of flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches, but I'll save just about anything else if I can. Once I found a dragonfly drowning in a pond and I got it out and put it in a garden in the sun, and I got such a thrill to see it dry out and fly away.

You accomplished something wether significant to others or not. It is awesome that you were able to dig deep and just do it for the sake of saving the blue tongue.

A significant milestone to be proud of for sure
