is that a lizard in with those snakes

 

[peterjohnson64]

Yes Kylie, that appears to be a cunninghams skink in with tiger snakes. These are kept in outdoor pits at the park. There is no danger to the lizards but no, you shouldn't do it at home.

that is actually a land mullet egernia major with the tiger snakes. when i went there i was lucky enough to see the tiger snakes feed
they put mice in and 1 of the tigers ate 5 no joke
and 1 of the others only ate 1 and then bit the 1 that ate 5

Tiger snakes would be imune to tiger snake venom wouldent they?

hey david..
actually at the start of holding the baby alligator he told me to put my finger in its mouth and let it bite me, so of course,me being me, i did it. and it didnt hurt one bit. lots of sharp teeth, but only light bites. it was well behaved the whole time i held it. towards the end it started to thrash a bit. i was in absolute awe, lucky he is my mates next door neighbour. so i felt pretty privledge. he does all the shows and his girlfriend milks the spiders there. good jobs.

Glad you had a good day.
