Bungarra rescued

[Gone_Feral]

This Gould's Sand Monitor or Bungarra, was clinging for dear life onto the pump I had just retrieved from the bore you can see, scared the living bejebus outta me too. I figure that he had not been long in the bore because besides cold, he was otherwise un-affected by the horrible water in there( around 80,000ppm salt). The water SWL (Standing Water Level) is about 40mbgl (Metres Below Ground level)
This is about 10km South of Widgiemooltha in the WA Goldfields.
