Today i was called out to remove 2 bluetongue skinks from two different properties.
Why? They say the main reason is they are worried about their dogs killing them,
but i think they just worried ...full stop.
Over the last few weeks there have been more.
This is one of the vids taken today in Rosebud Victoria.

Its great to watch the reactions of the normies when confronted by scales.

Im hoping to get other
people/rescuers ect aswell, to share their pics and vids of wild lizard encounters.

Here is the other one.

I relocated these two back to where I found them :p Just a nice little find yesterday as I was wandering around a local park. They got relocated out of the long grass onto the short grass (for a few pics) and relocated back again :lol:

Haha an older neighbour of ours has blueys breeding on her property,she is happy to let them stay but she is also scared of them
 
Its amazing how many scared people will decide to keep the bluies on their properties
when you tell them they eat spiders,cockroaches, snails and baby snakes.
The fear of spiders is as strong as the fear of snakes

nice one baz,the first blotchy looks gravid,looks like a good sized one to,you must get a few calls thinking there snakes to id imagine,some folk are just as scared as the blueys,unfortunatly alot of dogs do harm blueys
 
Yeah the old blue tongue... They are fair dinkum eaters of men, dogs and babies. I have heard how they terrorize, maim for fun, and subject decent law abiding people to being held hostage in their own home. I remember one that had professional victims LOL!!
 
If you met the psycho one we have at work you may just think the stories were true. I put a larger cage mate in with him the other day, took him about 2 seconds to attack and he's not even half grown yet. Needless to say I removed said cage mate quickly. He asks for food then attacks you when you put it in, amusing critter he is. I have been getting him out a lot and, bit by bit, he is calming down. I kinda like his feisty wild side though.
 
Thought id add this vid from yesterday to this obscure thread

Cheers
