They may not be mine but gotta love being able to go to the national park and have reptiles that comfortable with people. They made my day

Yes I did know it was a lace, took a bit of patience to get him that close but was worth it. There were 2 but only one curious enough to come that close

Last time I fed a wild lacie ( a "semi-bells" pictured below) it decided I didn't feed it enough and went for my bare feet. To cut a long story short I ended up pinning it down with a tripod while putting my boots on, after which it hung around camp and scared off other campers

That thought did cross my mind when it was sniffing round, luckily the ham was obviously tastier than my toes

yup and fingers dont grow back after they have been ripped off .....
skin grafts can repair the damage after the lacie has striped your finger to the bone .
What's wrong with the Dreamworld lacie? or do you mean one that frequents the park?
I think Cockney is referring to the incident where a tiger at Dreamworld bit a handler.
I'm not meaning to put a downer on your experience, Fred - contact with a wild animal is awesome (as long as it doesn't try to attack or eat you) - but I'd also be concerned about that monitor's diet. It's probably scavenging picnic food regularly if it's bold enough to come that close. Does anyone know if lacies can suffer any ill effects from eating people food?

I imagine someone who can't figure out a large animal with claws/teeth is dangerous on their own, probably wouldn't listen to warning anyway, and hence seeing this photo makes no impact.
You can't live your own life based on what others might do.

Just because someone doesn't own a lacey does not mean they don't know how fast things can go bad...
