Sleepy Lizard

I almost stepped on this fellow on my walk tonight. He was kind enough to pose a little. Wish I had the 50mm f1.8 on

Creepy critter! Looks much like a snake ! Glad I wasnt walking with ya

Nice shot of the Shingleback (Trachydosaurus rugosus). I've seen a couple of these out in the west of NSW, but we don't get them here -the humidity of the coastal strip east of the Great Dividing Range causes them to get a fungal disease.

Fantastic capture Peter, love it. I used to see them often but haven't seen one of those for a couple of years for some reason. Well done

Looks like a snake to me too - I'd have been up the nearest tree while waiting for you to snap that!! Great capture.

Thanks all for the nice comments. He's definately no snake but they have a good set of jaws if you are not careful. I picked him up to relocate but thought better of it and let him on his way. They are a beautiful lizard. Often see them in pairs because they mate for life but he was a juvenile and probably out for a feed.

Excellent shot, the DOF is right where it needs to be, I envy you, I'll probably never see one around here. wild that is, very well done.

Great shot
Havent seen one of those since I was a kid, for kicks which end is looking at us hehehe
For those that didnt grow up in AUS it is a Shingle back lizard or Stuppy tail it's rear looks like the other end.....or is it that other way around
