Every morning we have to warm up the Blue Tongue and then he gets his breakfast. If it's sunny we sit outside and feed him so he gets his UV rays. Here he is having lamb chop, cooked broccoli and grape.
Max took the lizard to school for show and tell, and Bluey ate his breakfast in the Grade 2 classroom.
Holly and Pia's place is just a lizard wonderland. Last weekend they had a sleepover and Max caught an adult Drop Tail lizard and 4 babies, one of which dropped it's little tail. The babies were about 5cm long, the adult about 9cm long. Here is Max with a baby Drop Tail, this is one he found at a playdate at his friend Jack's house in Flaggy Creek (on the other side of the river from where we live). Not to be outdone, George goes and finds slugs and beetles while Max catches the faster-moving critters.
Whatever big brother does...
Little brother does too.
Watching a bit of the Olympics with Milo, Choo Choo and Bluey.
Max was in the Bairnsdale Advertiser this week.
Zak at school found this lizard on his farm. We don't even know what it is. Some kind of "dragon". It's ours now. Max is supposed to catch a Drop Tail for Zak in return.
It is probably a Gippsland Water Dragon. When it is an adult it could be 1m long. They can run on 2 legs like a dinosaur, they belong to an ancient line of lizards as old as the crocodiles (20 million years), they can stay under water for up to 90 minutes because they can breathe through their skin underwater!

It plays dead when stressed, quite realistically.
Max is enjoying the emails he gets from family and friends.
