a Land Mullet?

[earthmother]

Moths friend took this in his yard. Is it a Land Mullet. He said it was very long and he thought it was a small goanna at 1st from a distance, with no glasses on while drunk.
lol

Yeah, land mullet it is. Still don't understand how something that..unfortunate looking can fetch so much money.

 

[ackie]

not a bad photo for a drunk guy

 

[africancichlidau]

[Ricko]

Overgrown slug with legs?

 

[Ricko]

Jesus, talk about cretins needing to be educated about reptiles.
We need to start here before we even think about educating the general public. :roll:

I think I saw a stack of these in the blue mountains if that's possible. There seemed to be a family of about 6 all perched on a warm rock. Always wondered what they refered to as a Land Mullet lol

 

[sxereturn]

It's one of them bloody venomous lizards.

 

[_popp_]

Cretin? me?

 

[Farkurnell]

Cretin? me?

I thought you were from Perth Craig?
When did you arrive from Crete?

 

[earthmother]

Lol you're all sooooo funny.
Very creative. Whoops I thought Mags was serious and emailed the fella telling him it was an overgrown slug with legs. lol

Ackie, the lizard had no glasses and was drunk was the story I was given lol. Which definitely means there was alcamahol !

I looked them up and they're found in the Northeast region of N.S.W. Which is the right location.
Does anybody know how long they get to? I'm not sure the description -"it's longer than my arm Em!" Convinces me when it's said all slurred. lol

I do think it's an unusual lizard but gorgeous nonetheless.

 

[lutzd]

Alcamahol??? It's mullet whacking day! [to the sultry tones of Barry White].

 

[earthmother]

That's how you pronounce it when you've had 2 much. :twisted:

Not that I'd know anything about that. :shock:

Some more like a family of cunninghams skinks to me.

Skinks are gr8.The more i have to do with them the more i fall in love with these little guy's.
I plan to get as many of the skink family i can get me hands on.
Some are just so ugly that they are cute.
They are generally easy to keep, eat very well, with the smaller varieties being very entertaining.Always on the move.
I think everyone should some kind of skink!!!and for that matter dragons and monitors.LOL.
Hoping to get some legless lizards very soon.Looking forward to that.

for those who have handled one of these i think you will agree they are realy quite spectacular but dont let em get a hold , they have one strong set of jaws
