Burtons Legless Lizard

[jase75]

I was on my way to Canberra after work on Friday Nite, it was a nice warm nite and i just happened to see something slowly moving off the side of the road. I stopped and went back and this beautiful Burtons Legless Lizard was slowly crawling off the road so i grabbed my camera and snapped some pics. It was a pretty good size, larger than any others ive seen, about 40cm long. I escorted him off the road and only 200 metres further on was another one a bit smaller sitting on the side of the road. By the time i had turned around he had taken off into some leaf litter.

Interesting mate. We found both on the same night between Isa and Cloncurry. Might be a SEQ thing?
