We've had Bluetongue Lizards at our place for years, but I haven't seen any in two years.

They live for decades and we had a mating pair that lived under the house. A few years ago they had a few babies, the only young I'd seen, but birds or cats killed two.

Yesterday I came across my first live baby, I'm so happy to see they have been successful. I hope to see more.

 How big do these get? 

 Up to a foot and a half or 45cm for big old fellas. They are Australia's biggest type of Skink. 

 Pretty big😊 

 This one was only a few inches long 

 Better than a snake! 

 We've got a few of those too, I see them less luckily. 

 Depends on the snake. 

 I could do without the taipans &  browns...
