STRESSED HISSING VISITOR

Hissing, body inflating, head-rearing, tongue-flicking... they were all part of an adult Blue-tongued Lizard's threat display yesterday. A spectacle that's always terrific to watch. You have to admire the Lizard's theatricality. I cornered the striped beastie and ushered it into a plastic garbage bin, so I could move it out of the way of my two dogs, one of whom was hyperactive and barking madly when in the reptile's presence. The first adult Blue-tongued Lizard I've had on my property. LJ, December 19 2012.
