comanche 2,948 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) I'm sure I had a tea card with a frill-necked lizard on . I sort of recognised it . They are all impressive though . How big and how common are they ?. And it's a change to see a picture that hasn't any snow in it !

How big and how common are they ?. And it's a change to see a picture that hasn't any snow in it ! The frill neck in the pic is from Arnhem land right at the top of Aussie,tribal lands. This variety gets quite large (this one about three foot) there are a number of sub species, the one commonly depicted being the variety found in the central desert. Goannas dependant on species are regionaly threatened as much through habitat loss as anything. Though a fox will take the smaller ones. The sand goanna in the pic is from a site I do rabbit work on, obviously no gassing etc as they would be killed so its trad methods only.They cohabit with the rabbits in the warrens.They eat a few of the kits but never enough to make a dent. Tea cards! Takes me back! Actually I think they were a great thing for kids, much better than the 'putor and tintenernet I reckon I learnt more from stuff like that as a kid than I did at school, LOL (and the board of joint examiners comments did reflect this ) Tufty club....ah a fine body of men and/or women. Wish I still had my badge. All the best Terref Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the Adders are very common on the rough hill ground in my area, not much for people to worry about but quite bad news for dogs, two died on land near me in the last few years.
