Nice animal and would have made a great photograph in situ.
Why are you handling animals and carrying a net around in a National park?
"plus one"Lol at the goody two-shoes here.
If you are going to pick some laws to champion, don't pick useless overprotective ones? Technically its illegal to even move an animal off a road - preventing its death.
Sue me.

So am I , never see one like this , but his tongue is blue color for sureI'm still curious about the rest of its markings as I'm not convinced it's a blue tongue. That has me more curious than the fact that he touched it.
PARK RULES
National parks are for everyone to enjoy and you can help protect and preserve them by following a few simple rules in parks.
- Observe all signs.
- Use bins provided or take rubbish away with you.
- Don't bring nets.
- Leave firearms at home.
- If lighting a fire, use the fireplaces and bring your own firewood.
- Observe total fire bans.
- Please do not disturb plants, animals and relies as they are protected.
- Please do not disturb rocks as they are important shelter for some animals and plants.
OK, so I might be a goodie-two-shoes, just a bit juvenile to resort to name calling when caught out.
Now regarding use of a net to catch animals inside a national park, or even handling them. National parks are established to protect these animals and if you take the time to ask about the rules you MUST OBSERVE while inside a national park you'll know handling animals found therein is strictly forbotten !!!
You want to see the animal up close, take a decent camera with a zoom lens and take photos of it, handling it or interfering with it in anyway to get a better photo is not permitted.
See http://www.lithgow-tourism.com/natpark/rules.htm as an example of rules (which I believe are applicable in all national parks).
And for those who don't want to open the link I'll quote the rules here for your information -
I've highlighted the rules applicable to the OP's encounter with a "tame" BTS.
Sorry, I don't swallow the claim that he didn't use the net to catch it. Sounds like he's trying to cover his rear end to me.
There are 2 types of rangers.
Blokes and dicks.
I'm sure most rangers wouldn't care that he's picking up a blue tongue for a photo.
And, bluetongue with a net?, Have you ever encountered a wild bluetongue before? If you think you need a net for them i'm a bit shocked!
The king of knobs doeshe stated he was using the net for fishing,if you look at the pic clearly it is a landing net for fish,also who catches reptiles with a landing net??
