Since spring has arrived, it's also the time for the striped legless lizards to come out and see the sun. So fast, it's already been a year since I came to this place and lay the tiles on this grassland. Now I'm back to catch lizards.
Today is the training day for the striped legless lizard monitoring. The weather wasn't looking good plus there were so many people, so we had the training in the Vic Uni's lecture hall. It's like attending lecture. @@"
After free lunch, I didn't expect that they will also invite some snake handlers to give a demonstration. A few of the people from the Naturalist Society were trained by them before. Come to think of it, now only I realise I know quite a number of snake handlers. Lol. This is a long-necked turtle. So big.
Bearded dragon. Finally I got a chance to touch one as I always see these in pet shops but can't touch them. So excited to touch a dragon's skin. Hehe.
This is a goanna. So yeng.
This is a red-bellied black snake.
A brown snake. Although it's very venomous and fast, it's less likely to bite a human. Snakes only attack for food and for defence. People always mistaken that the snake is coming to bite them because it's moving so fast, but it's actually running away. Only inappropriate body movements that make them bite you because they feel threatened.
So many Australians specialise in reptiles behaviour. Is that a trend? Lol.
