Eastern Blue-tongue Lizard (Tiliqua scincoides scincoides)

I saw my lifer eastern blue tongue earlier this year basking on a rock which was a nice surprise.

@Yoshistar888 I had not seen a blue-tongue in my backyard for a long time but I found this one recently. It's amazing what appears when the neighbourhood cats are finally kept indoors at night.

@WhistlingKite24 Mine was seen in Yarra Bend Park which is a little stretch of bush which follows the Yarra River and is surrounded by urban roads.

Unfortunately where I live absolutely no one has any respect for keeping cats indoors and instead they freely roam the streets day and night, one night I saw ten individual cats in my street alone and five in the neighbouring street. I still wonder how the local Brushtail and Ringtail possums we get every now and then survive.

Lizards have become a lot more rare in my area, I haven't seen a garden skink in my house for a couple years and I haven't seen Marbled geckos at all for a year (everywhere).

Interesting how similar it looks to my local alligator lizards, although the skink is much bigger! Act about the same too it looks like.

@WhistlingKite24 Speaking of neighbourhood cats that people let out, one of the neighbors cats just went past my window, not a small one either.
